The APECED syndrome (autoimmune polyendocrinopathy, candidosis, ectodermal dystrophy) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that develops in early childhood and results in tissue-specific multiorgan autoimmunity, leading to the hypofunction of multiple glands. Is clinically defined as the presence of at least two components of the classic triad of hypoparathyroidism, adrenal insufficiency, and mucocutaneous candidiasis. We report a case in a child, illustrating the importance of dermatological disorders.

Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome (PLS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder associated with rapidly progressing periodontitis leading to premature loss of deciduous and permanent dentition and diffuse palmoplantar keratosis. Immunologic alterations, genetic mutations, and role of bacteria are some aetiologic factors. Patients present with early periodontal destruction, so periodontists play a significant role in diagnosis and management. This paper reports a case of Papillon- Lefevre syndrome with its clinical manifestations and challenges for periodontal management which was diagnosed in dental department.

Haim-Munk syndrome is an extremely rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized clinically by palmoplantar hyperkeratosis, aggressive periodontitis with severe alveolar bone destruction, onychogryphosis, pes planus, arachnodactyly, and acro-osteolysis. Consanguinity seems a notable prerequisite. The aim of this study was therefore to report one case of this syndrome and to focus on the periodontal manifestations, in order to attract the attention of dental clinicians to this rare anomaly.

Congenital hypotrichosis and Stargardt macular dystrophy are rare autosomal recessive disorder of unk nown etiology respectively characterized by hair loss, macular degeneration and severe progressive vision reduc tion. There are few reports in the literature with this association. Studies show that the defective gene is on the chro mosome I6q22.1 and involve cadherin molecule in the pathogenesis. Early recognition of these disorders often starts with hair changes and should alert the dermatologist for an eye examination thereby avoiding more severe ocular defect.

Griscelli syndrome (GS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by immunodeficiency and partial albinism. Asymmetric crying facies (ACF) is caused by congenital hypoplasia or agenesis of the depressor anguli oris muscle. Asymmetric crying facies may be isolated or it may be associated with various anomalies. We report a 3-month-old Turkish boy who had clinical and microscopic hair features of GS associated with ACF. To the best of our knowledge, this is the 1st case of this association to be reported in the literature.

Autoimmune polyendocrinopathy ectodermal dystrophy (APECED), also known as autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type I (APS I), is an uncommon, but debilitating autosomal recessive disease caused by mutations in the autoimmune regulator (AIRE), It is characterized by a broad and diverse clinical spectrum which can lead to severe metabolic alterations and eventually life-threatening events. Hypoparathyroidism is one of the major criteria for clinical diagnosis, in addition to chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis and autoimmune adrenal insufficiency. This component is responsible for the forming of brain calcifications which tend to have a characteristic predilection for the basal ganglia. In this article, we report an additional case to the literature and provide a literature review of the expanding radiological spectrum of this syndrome

Transaldolase TALDO deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of the pentose phosphate pathway. It has variable presentations with poor outcome when present early in life. We present a young Saudi infant with a fatal early presentation of TALDO deficiency.

AbstractHOMG1 (hypomagnesemia 1, intestinal) or hypomagnesemia with secondary hypocalcemia is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of magnesium metabolism, characterized by impaired magnesium absorption. This disorder may mimic other conditions presenting with neonatal seizures. Here, we report an infant diagnosed to have hypomagnesemia with secondary hypocalcemia due to novel variants in TRPM6 gene.

Bardet-Biedl syndrome is a very rare autosomal-recessive disorder with pan-systemic effects. The perioperative period may be hazardous for patients with this disorder. We describe the presenting features and management of a child who was scheduled for elective ambulatory general anesthesia and discuss the relevant points for the busy anesthesiologist.
