Adult syndromology: challenges, opportunities and perspectives: Illustrated by the description of four adults with Costello syndrome.
Clinical geneticists and syndromologists have traditionally focused on identifying syndromes in children. However, there is a growing acknowledgment of the need to describe adult phenotypes. This article provides an overview of the evolving phenotypes of rare genetic syndromes into adulthood, elucidating its challenges, opportunities, and future perspectives. The clinical phenotypes of four adults with Costello syndrome are described to illustrate these aspects. Phenotypic and genotypic data from four individuals broaden the spectrum of Costello syndrome in adulthood and highlight the high variability in neurocognitive outcome. The clinical data align with previous findings and established genotype-phenotype correlations. Interestingly, two individuals presented with recurrent cancers (bladder cancer and neuroblastoma). Further studies are imperative to provide reliable information for counselling and management to enable comprehensive understanding of the evolving features of rare syndromic diseases and special health issues into adulthood.
期刊介绍:
medizinischegenetik is a scientific journal that is owned and published by the German Society of Human Genetics e.V. since 1989. The journal was founded by Prof. Jan Murken, München. Self-published until 2006, from 2007-2019 published at Springer Verlag and since 2020 at De Gruyter.
medizinischegenetik serves education and training among colleagues, the interdisciplinary exchange of knowledge in all areas of human genetics in clinics, practice, research and teaching. Each issue of the quarterly journal deals with a focus that provides a comprehensive overview of current developments in specific clinical pictures, technical developments and therapeutic approaches. All reviews are written in English language. The journal thus creates a platform for the international exchange of knowledge and increased awareness of German research activities in the scientific community.
In addition, medizinischegenetik contains information on activities in its own subject in the German-language section. This includes conference reports, association announcements, personnel matters, statements and guidelines. With health policy questions, historical retrospectives and comments on current developments, the profession takes a stand on human genetic issues in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
