Any arthrogryposis-renal dysfunction-cholestasis syndrome in which the cause of the disease is a mutation in the VPS33B gene.
Features include always present findings: Aminoaciduria, Renal tubular acidosis, Jaundice, and Conjugated hyperbilirubinemia; and very common findings: Joint stiffness present at birth (arthrogryposis multiplex congenita). 39 total HPO annotations.
Organ System | Phenotype Count | Example Features |
|---|---|---|
Kidneys and urinary system | 6 | Nephrocalcinosis, Renal tubular acidosis, Kidney disease (nephropathy) |
VPS33B function has not been fully characterized.
Arthrogryposis, renal dysfunction, and cholestasis 1 is caused by mutations in the VPS33B gene on chromosome 15.
Genetic testing for VPS33B is available. Testing is considered confirmatory for diagnosis.
Biomarker and diagnostic research for arthrogryposis, renal dysfunction, and cholestasis 1 has been reported in the published literature.
Phenotype severity distribution: 4 always present features, 1 very common feature, 5 common features.
No clinical trials have been registered for arthrogryposis, renal dysfunction, and cholestasis 1.
6 publications have been identified in PubMed for arthrogryposis, renal dysfunction, and cholestasis 1. Research spans Case Report / Case Series (67%), Diagnostic / Biomarker (17%), and Review / Meta-Analysis (17%).
