Sensenbrenner syndrome

MIM.218330

Cranioectodermal dysplasia (CED) or Sensenbrenner syndrome (MIM.218330) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by dolichocephaly, rhizomelic dwarfism, dental and nail dysplasia, and progressive tubulo-interstitial nephritis (TIN) leading to end-stage renal failure.

The coexistence of a chronic tubulo-interstitial renal disease with lesions associated to malformations of the hepatic ductal plate (hepatorenal dysplasia) may indicate that CED could be a new member of the group of hepatorenal dysplastic syndromes (congenital hepatorenal fibrocystic syndromes). However, it is not a renal dysplasia.
