DEND syndrome

MedGen UID:
929262
Concept ID:
C4303593
Disease or Syndrome
Synonyms: DEND (developmental delay, epilepsy, neonatal diabetes) syndrome; Developmental delay, epilepsy, neonatal diabetes syndrome; Developmental delay-epilepsy-neonatal diabetes syndrome; developmental delay-epilepsy-neonatal diabetes syndrome; K ATP Associated Developmental Delay, Epilepsy and Neonatal Diabetes; K ATP associated developmental delay, epilepsy and neonatal diabetes
SNOMED CT: Developmental delay, epilepsy, neonatal diabetes syndrome (721088003); DEND syndrome (721088003); DEND (developmental delay, epilepsy, neonatal diabetes) syndrome (721088003)
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.
Not genetically inherited
MedGen UID:
988794

clinical entity without genetic inheritance.

Definition

A very rare, generally severe form of neonatal diabetes mellitus with characteristics of a triad of developmental delay, epilepsy, and neonatal diabetes. Fewer than 40 cases have been reported to date. DEND syndrome represents the most severe end of the neonatal diabetes mellitus spectrum. The associated neurologic features range from mild psychomotor retardation to severe developmental delay. Patients also have therapy-resistant epilepsy and muscle hypotonia. Caused in most cases by gain of channel function mutations in the KCNJ11 gene (11p15.1), encoding a subunit of the ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channel. Rare reports of specific mutations in the ABCC8 gene (11p15.1) have also been associated with DEND. The pattern of inheritance of DEND syndrome is either de novo mutation, dominant, or very rarely recessive. [from SNOMEDCT_US]
