Roifman syndrome

Roifman syndrome is a rare genetic condition that has been recognized by its complex clinical features. It is known to include skeletal abnormalities (often described as spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia), eye problems such as retinal dystrophy, and issues with the immune system, specifically antibody deficiency. The condition is also referred to by several other names, highlighting the combination of these clinical features. Although detailed definitions are currently limited, the available information connects these different aspects of the condition. People with this syndrome may experience problems related to bone development as well as vision and immune response. This summary brings together the recognized clinical signs and the genetic findings associated with Roifman syndrome, giving a general picture of its impact on the body.

Common features of Roifman syndrome include abnormalities in bone development, which can be seen in conditions described as spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, retinal dystrophy that affects the eyes, and a reduced function of the immune system leading to antibody deficiency. However, specific details and a full range of symptoms are not fully outlined in the available sources.

Roifman syndrome is associated with changes in the RNU4ATAC gene. These genetic variations play a role in the development of the condition and its range of clinical features. The condition is inherited, which means that changes in the gene can be passed from parents to children.
