Zimmermann-Laband syndrome 1

Zimmermann-Laband syndrome 1 is a rare condition that occurs when there is a mutation in the KCNH1 gene. This genetic change defines the syndrome and distinguishes it from other forms of Zimmermann-Laband syndrome. The condition has been recognized in the medical literature and is cataloged with identifiers such as OMIM:135500 and GARD:15071. People with this condition may experience a range of physical features. Although detailed information is limited, the syndrome’s name and synonyms suggest that it can involve changes in gum tissue, abnormalities in the fingers and nails, distinct features of the nose and ears, and in some cases, an enlarged spleen. The understanding of these signs comes partly from the way the syndrome has been described in various medical sources.

The condition’s name and synonyms imply that some common features may include gum overgrowth (gingival fibromatosis), differences in the appearance of the fingers and nails, and distinct facial characteristics, such as changes in the nose and ears. There is also mention of splenomegaly, or an enlarged spleen, in some cases. However, detailed symptom descriptions and patterns are not extensively described in the available sources.

Zimmermann-Laband syndrome 1 is caused by a mutation in the KCNH1 gene. This genetic mutation is responsible for the development of the condition. Genetic changes like this are inherent and occur at birth, although the exact inheritance pattern or risk factors are not fully detailed in the provided sources.
