Meckel syndrome type 1

A severe hereditary disorder with autosomal recessive inheritance. There is considerable variability (GENETIC PLEIOTROPY) in the range of anomalies observed in affected individuals caused by dysfunction of primary CILIA during early EMBRYOGENESIS. These include a combination of renal CYSTS, encephalocele, HEPATIC DUCT dysplasia and cysts, and POLYDACTYLY. Mutations in the MKS1 gene have been identified. OMIM: 249000

Also Known As:

Dysencephalia Splanchnocystica; Dysencephalia splachnocystica; Gruber syndrome; Meckel Gruber syndrome; Meckel Syndrome; Meckel Syndrome, Type 1; Meckel syndrome type1; Meckel-Gruber Syndrome; Meckel-Gruber Syndrome, Type 1
