Published: December 2003

The Coffin-Lowry syndrome is an established syndrome of severe mental and growth retardation, characteristic dysmorphic features and skeletal anomalies. The authors report a one and half year old boy with classical features of this syndrome. Early recognition of this condition is important for genetic counseling and prevention of progressive skeletal deformities.

The natural course of newborns with transient congenital hypothyroidism.

Endocr Connect

The Ruth & Bruce Rappaport Faculty of Medicine, Technion, Haifa, Israel.

Objectives: The incidence of congenital hypothyroidism (CH) has increased worldwide over the last decades, mainly due to the lowering of screening thresholds, resulting in the increased identification of newborns with transient CH. Several studies have reported the prevalence and the predictive parameters of transient CH, but reports on the long-term outcome are rare. This study aimed to assess the long-term course of neonates with transient CH.

Coffin-Lowry Syndrome (CLS) is a rare X-linked genetic disorder characterized by growth delays, facial dysmorphisms, and intellectual disabilities. Currently, there are limited published case reports regarding the anesthetic management of patients with CLS. Managing anesthesia for CLS patients can be complex due to difficult airway management.

The p90 ribosomal S6 kinases (RSK) family of serine/threonine kinases comprises four isoforms (RSK1-4) that lie downstream of the ERK1/2 mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway. RSKs are implicated in fine tuning of cellular processes such as translation, transcription, proliferation, and motility. Previous work showed that pathogens such as Cardioviruses could hijack any of the four RSK isoforms to inhibit PKR activation or to disrupt cellular nucleocytoplasmic trafficking.

An unexpected presentation of very severe hypertriglyceridemia in a boy with Coffin-Lowry syndrome: a case report.

BMC Pediatr

October 2023

Department of Radiology, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Universiti Malaysia Sarawak, Jalan Datuk Muhammad Musa, Kota Samarahan, Sarawak, 94300, Malaysia.

Background: Coffin-Lowry syndrome (CLS) is a rare X-linked condition with intellectual disability, growth retardation, characteristic facies and skeletal anomalies. To date, hypertriglyceridemia has not been reported in literature to be associated with CLS.

Case Presentation: Herein, we report a case of very severe hypertriglyceridemia 32 mmol/L (2834 mg/dL) detected incidentally at three months old in an otherwise well boy born late preterm with intrauterine growth restriction, when he presented with lipaemic plasma.
