Epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma-2 (EPPK2) is an autosomal dominant skin disorder in which affected individuals have hyperkeratosis restricted to palms and soles present from birth or childhood (Hatsell et al., 2001; Nakamizo et al., 2023). In some individuals with EPPK2, keratoderma involving the palms and soles extends to the dorsal surfaces of the hands and feet and involves the skin over the Achilles tendon (transgrediens), a phenotype known as Greither syndrome (Gach et al., 2005). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma, and of palmoplantar keratoderma in general, see 144200. [from OMIM]

Autosomal dominant auditory neuropathy-2 (AUNA2) is characterized by postlingual onset of progressive bilateral sensorineural hearing loss in the second decade, leading to profound deafness in the fifth decade. Affected individuals show abnormal auditory brainstem responses (ABR) even before the onset of symptoms. Outer hair cell (OHC) function is preserved initially, but declines with age (Lang-Roth et al., 2017). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of autosomal dominant auditory neuropathy, see AUNA1 (609129). [from OMIM]

Carpal tunnel syndrome-1 (CTS1) is characterized by hand pain and numbness in the distribution of the median nerve, with onset in the sixth decade of life. Amyloid deposits are observed in synovial tissue of the wrist and in the transverse carpal ligament (Murakami et al., 1994). Genetic Heterogeneity of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome CTS2 (619161) is caused by mutation in the COMP gene (600310) on chromosome 19p13. Susceptibility to the development of mononeuropathy of the median (MNMN; 613353) may be conferred by heterozygous mutation in the SH3TC2 gene (608206) on chromosome 5q32. Carpal tunnel syndrome has been described as a feature in amyloid neuropathy (see 176300) and in mucopolysaccharidoses (e.g., 253200) and mucolipidoses (252600). [from OMIM]

Epidermolytic hyperkeratosis-1 (EHK1) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder of cornification. The disorder usually presents at birth with erythema and blistering and is characterized in adulthood by warty flexural hyperkeratosis with fewer erosions and blisters. Ultrastructural analysis reveals clumping of the intermediate filaments within keratinocytes of the spinous and granular layers (summary by Whittock et al., 2001). A form of epidermolytic hyperkeratosis that is limited to the palms and soles, designated palmoplantar keratoderma (EPPK; 144200), can also be caused by mutation in KRT1, as well KRT9 (607606). Genetic Heterogeneity of Epidermolytic Hyperkeratosis Mutation in the KRT10 gene (148080) results in both autosomal dominant (EHK2A; 620150) and autosomal recessive (EHK2B; 620707) forms of epidermolytic hyperkeratosis. [from OMIM]

Annular epidermolytic ichthyosis-2 (AEI2) is characterized by erythema and blistering of skin at birth that improves without scarring, as well as palmoplantar keratoderma. Some patients experience intermittent severe flares of generalized annular and polycyclic erythematous scaling plaques (Sybert et al., 1999; Zaki et al., 2018). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of AEI, see AEI1 (607602). [from OMIM]

Neurodevelopmental disorder with microcephaly, hypotonia, and absent language (NEDMHAL) is a severe autosomal recessive disorder characterized by the constellation of these features. Behavioral problems and hearing loss are also present (Ansar et al., 2020). [from OMIM]

Neurodevelopmental disorder with epilepsy and brain atrophy (NEDEBA) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by early-onset progressive myoclonus epilepsy with ataxia (summary by Bott et al., 2021). [from OMIM]

Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy-104 (DEE104) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by developmental delay in the first few months of life and drug-resistant focal and generalized tonic-clonic seizures (summary by Bott et al., 2021). For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of DEE, see 308350. [from OMIM]

Cardiac valvular dysplasia-1 (CVDP1) is characterized by congenital malformations of the pulmonic, tricuspid, and mitral valves. Structural cardiac defects, including atrial and ventricular septal defects, single left ventricle, and hypoplastic right ventricle have also been observed in affected individuals (Ta-Shma et al., 2017). Genetic Heterogeneity of Cardiac Valvular Dysplasia CVDP2 (620067) is caused by mutation in the ADAMTS19 gene (607513) on chromosome 5q23. [from OMIM]

Immunodeficiency-105 (IMD105) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by onset of recurrent infections in early infancy. Manifestations may include pneumonia, dermatitis, and lymphadenopathy. B-cell lymphoma was reported in 1 patient. Laboratory studies show decreased or absent numbers of nonfunctional T cells, normal or increased levels of B cells, hypogammaglobulinemia, and normal or low NK cells. The disorder is caused by a deficiency of transmembrane protein CD45 (PTPRC) on leukocytes, which plays an important role in T- and B-cell development (Cale et al., 1997; Kung et al., 2000). For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of autosomal recessive SCID, see 601457. [from OMIM]

Hypomyelinating leukodystrophy-24 (HLD24) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by global developmental delay and neurologic deterioration (Segawa et al., 2021). For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of HLD, see 312080. [from OMIM]

Autosomal dominant deafness-84 (DFNA84) is characterized by slowly progressive nonsyndromic sensorineural hearing loss. Onset is usually in the postlingual period, during the first or second decades, although both congenital and later onset has been reported. There is intrafamilial variation in disease severity, audiogram shape, and progression (summary by Pater et al., 2022). [from OMIM]

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2Y is an autosomal dominant peripheral neuropathy characterized by distal muscle weakness and atrophy associated with length-dependent sensory loss. Most patients have involvement of both the lower and upper limbs. The age at onset and the severity of the disorder are highly variable (summary by Gonzalez et al., 2014). For a phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of axonal CMT, see CMT2A1 (118210). [from OMIM]

Seizures, cortical blindness, and microcephaly syndrome (SCBMS) is an autosomal recessive neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by microcephaly, early-onset seizures, severely delayed psychomotor development, and cortical blindness. Affected individuals also tend to show poor overall growth with short stature (summary by Ercan-Sencicek et al., 2015). [from OMIM]

Spastic paraplegia-76 is an autosomal recessive neurologic disorder characterized by young-adult onset of slowly progressive spasticity of the lower limbs resulting in gait difficulties. Most affected individuals have upper limb involvement and additional features such as foot deformities and dysarthria. Cognition is unaffected (summary by Gan-Or et al., 2016). For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of autosomal recessive spastic paraplegia, see SPG5A (270800). [from OMIM]

Immunodeficiency-85 and autoimmunity (IMD85) is an autosomal dominant immunologic disorder characterized by onset of atopic eczema and recurrent respiratory infections in the first decade of life. Affected individuals also develop autoimmune enteropathy with vomiting, diarrhea, and poor overall growth. More variable features may include autoimmune oligoarthritis, interstitial pneumonitis, and EBV viremia. Laboratory studies show hypogammaglobulinemia and abnormal T-cell function, consistent with a combined immunodeficiency (Keskitalo et al., 2019). [from OMIM]

Parkinson disease-24 (PARK24) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by classic Parkinson disease features, including adult onset, asymmetric limb involvement initially, and slowly progressive motor dysfunction. PARK24 shows incomplete penetrance, consistent with the presence of the PSAP mutation being a susceptibility factor for development of the disease (Oji et al., 2020). For a phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of Parkinson disease, see 168600. [from OMIM]

Autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia-31 (SCAR31) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by global developmental delay with hypotonia and variably impaired intellectual and language development. Affected individuals have an ataxic gait, tremor, and dysarthria; more severely affected patients also have spasticity with inability to walk. Most have optic atrophy. Brain imaging shows cerebellar hypoplasia, enlarged ventricles, and atrophy of the posterior corpus callosum. Additional features may include retinitis pigmentosa, sensorineural deafness, dysmorphic facial features, and possibly endocrine dysfunction (summary by Collier et al., 2021). [from OMIM]

WHIM syndrome-2 (WHIMS2) is an autosomal recessive immunologic disorder characterized by chronic neutropenia and myelokathexis, which is impaired neutrophil mobilization from the bone marrow. Affected individuals have recurrent infections, usually bacterial (summary by Auer et al., 2014). In a review of WHIMS, Heusinkveld et al. (2019) noted that there is significant phenotypic variation among patients, such that some individuals may have an 'incomplete' form of the disorder in which 1 or more of the classic tetrad features are not present. In general, the WHIMS phenotype comprises a spectrum of manifestations with variable expressivity. For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of WHIMS, see 193670. [from OMIM]
