Causesdefects of genes on chromosome 3 and 18.

Seckel syndrome, ormicrocephalicprimordial dwarfism (also known asbird-headed dwarfism,Harper's syndrome,Virchow–Seckel dwarfism andbird-headed dwarf of Seckel[1]) is an extremely rarecongenitalnanosomic disorder. Inheritance isautosomal recessive.[2] It is characterized byintrauterine growth restriction and postnataldwarfism with asmall head, narrow bird-like face with a beak-like nose, large eyes with down-slantingpalpebral fissures,[3] recedingmandible andintellectual disability.

A mouse model has been developed.[4] This mouse model is characterized by a severe deficiency ofATR protein.[4] These mice have high levels of replicative stress andDNA damage. Adult Seckel mice display accelerated aging.[4] These findings are consistent with theDNA damage theory of aging.

Genetics

[edit]

It is believed to be caused by defects of genes onchromosome3 and18. One form of Seckel syndrome can be caused by mutation in the gene encoding theataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related protein (ATR) which maps to chromosome 3q22.1–q24. This gene is central in the cell's DNA damage response and repair mechanism.

Diagnosis

[edit]

There are 4 criteria for diagnosis:[7]

  1. Congenital Dwarfism and postnatal growth retardation
  2. Microcephaly, large eyes, beak-like nose, narrow face, retrognathism, malocclusion
  3. Mental handicap
  4. Agenesis of the corpus callosum, cerebral cysts

Other abnormalities can be a supportive criteria, such as: anemia, pancytopenia, cleft lip/palate scoliosis or kyphoscoliosis.[8]

Genetic testing can confirm diagnosis.[5]

Treatment

[edit]

There is no cure for Seckel syndrome. Symptomatic treatment is available.[9][10]

History

[edit]

The syndrome was named after German–American physicianHelmut Paul George Seckel[11] (1900–1960). The synonym Harper's syndrome was named after pediatricianRita G. Harper.[12][13]
