Perlman Syndrome

Overview

Perlman syndrome is a very rare condition characterised by nephromegaly with renal dysplasia and Wilms tumor, macrosomia, cryptorchidism, and facial anomalies. It was first described by Perlman et al (1973, 1975) and is thought to be an autosomal recessive trait. Astuti et al (2012) reported that germline mutations in the DIS3L2 gene cause Perlman syndrome.

A new case of the fetal gigantism-renal hamartomas-nephroblastomatosis syndrome is described, in which a Wilms' tumor occurred. It is considered that this observation provides strong evidence for the interrelationship between renal dysplasia and renal neoplasia.
