Synopsis

Takenouchi-Kosaki syndrome is an extremely rare inherited disease caused by a heterozygous de novo mutation in the cell division cycle 42 (CDC42) gene. Fewer than 20 cases have been reported in the literature since it was first identified in 2015.

It is characterized by macrothrombocytopenia, developmental delay, dysmorphic facies, and deafness. Facial features include hypertelorism, up-slanting palpebral fissures, low-set and small auricles, short philtrum, thin vermillion border, flat nasal bridge, and micrognathia.

Lymphopenia with resulting immunodeficiency, structural brain abnormalities, vascular malformations (liver hemangiomas), aortic aneurysms, splenomegaly, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, hypothyroidism, systemic inflammation, myelofibrosis, lymphedema, and eczema have been reported. Camptodactyly and clinodactyly may also be observed.
