Familial pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis(PVOD2)

MedGen UID:
90956
Concept ID:
C0340848
Disease or Syndrome
Synonyms: Pulmonary venoocclusive disease 2; Pulmonary venoocclusive disease 2, autosomal recessive; PVOD2
SNOMED CT: Familial pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis (234161007)
Modes of inheritance:
Autosomal recessive inheritance
MedGen UID:
141025
Concept ID:
C0441748
Intellectual Product
Source: Orphanet
A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in individuals with two pathogenic alleles, either homozygotes (two copies of the same mutant allele) or compound heterozygotes (whereby each copy of a gene has a distinct mutant allele).
Autosomal dominant inheritance
MedGen UID:
141047
Concept ID:
C0443147
Intellectual Product
Source: Orphanet
A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in heterozygotes. In the context of medical genetics, an autosomal dominant disorder is caused when a single copy of the mutant allele is present. Males and females are affected equally, and can both transmit the disorder with a risk of 50% for each child of inheriting the mutant allele.

Definition

Pulmonary venoocclusive disease-2 is an autosomal recessive subtype of primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH; see 178600). It is characterized histologically by widespread fibrous intimal proliferation of septal veins and preseptal venules, and is frequently associated with pulmonary capillary dilatation and proliferation. The disorder can cause occult alveolar hemorrhage. High-resolution CT imaging of the chest shows patchy centrilobular ground-glass opacities, septal lines, and lymph node enlargement (summary by Eyries et al., 2014). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of pulmonary venoocclusive disease, see PVOD1 (265450). [from OMIM]

Clinical features

From HPO
Chronic fatigue
MedGen UID:
760077
Concept ID:
C0518656
Finding
Subjective feeling of tiredness characterized by a lack of energy and motivation that persists for six months or longer.
Pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis
MedGen UID:
87404
Concept ID:
C0340548
Disease or Syndrome
Pulmonary arterial hypertension
MedGen UID:
425404
Concept ID:
C2973725
Disease or Syndrome
Pulmonary hypertension is defined mean pulmonary artery pressure of 25mmHg or more and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure of 15mmHg or less when measured by right heart catheterisation at rest and in a supine position.
Pulmonary venous occlusion
MedGen UID:
907103
Concept ID:
C4280802
Finding
Substantial narrowing or blockage of small pulmonary veins as a result of disorganized smooth muscle hypertrophy and collagen matrix deposition.
Cough
MedGen UID:
41325
Concept ID:
C0010200
Sign or Symptom
A sudden, audible expulsion of air from the lungs through a partially closed glottis, preceded by inhalation.
Dyspnea
MedGen UID:
3938
Concept ID:
C0013404
Sign or Symptom
Difficult or labored breathing. Dyspnea is a subjective feeling only the patient can rate, e.g., on a Borg scale.
Decreased DLCO
MedGen UID:
892993
Concept ID:
C4073175
Finding
Reduced ability of the lungs to transfer gas from inspired air to the bloodstream as measured by the diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO) test.
Centrilobular ground-glass opacification on pulmonary HRCT
MedGen UID:
1383497
Concept ID:
C4476640
Finding
A hazy area of increased attenuation in centrilobular areas of the lung with preserved bronchial and vascular markings seen on a computer tomography scan. Centrilobular refers to a location that is central within secondary pulmonary lobules.
Mediastinal lymphadenopathy
MedGen UID:
451062
Concept ID:
C0520743
Disease or Syndrome
Swelling of lymph nodes within the mediastinum, the central compartment of the thoracic cavities that contains the heart and the great vessels, the esophagus, and trachea and other structures including lymph nodes.
