Type

  • mesh:Descriptor

Definition

  • Rare autosomal recessive syndrome of extreme insulin resistance due to mutations in the binding domain of INSULIN RECEPTOR. Clinical features include severe intrauterine and postnatal growth restriction, characteristic dysmorphic FACIES; HIRSUTISM; VIRILIZATION; multiple endocrine abnormalities, and early death. Rare autosomal recessive syndrome, characterized by a milder set of clinical features with prolonged survival, compared to Donohue syndrome. Mutations in the same INSULIN RECEPTOR, mostly in the non-binding domain, result in Rabson-Mendenhall syndrome (allelic heterogeneity). Clinical features include insulin-resistant DIABETES MELLITUS, often with ACANTHOSIS NIGRICANS; DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS; HYPERTRICHOSIS; and dysmorphisms.
