Syndromes affecting the endocrine system

page 1
Cushing's syndrome
adrenal gland overactivity caused by a tumor of the pituitary gland or by medication
androgen insensitivity syndrome
sex differentiation condition involving hormonal resistance due to androgen receptor dysfunction in a karyotypically male person
Kallmann syndrome
form of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism which is also accompanied by a total lack or partial loss in the sense of smell. The condition affects people with XX or XY chromosomes and causes atypical puberty and infertility
Waterhouse-Friderichsen syndrome
adrenal gland disease that is characterized by failure of the adrenal gland due to bleeding into the gland
Kearns-Sayre syndrome
spontaneous occuring or inherited mitochondrial myopathy with a typical onset before 20 years of age
empty sella syndrome
endocrine disease
Nelson syndrome
hormonal disorder sometimes resulting from adrenal gland removal
abetalipoproteinemia
Abetalipoproteinemia (also known as: Bassen–Kornzweig syndrome, microsomal triglyceride transfer protein deficiency disease, MTP deficiency, and betalipoprotein deficiency syndrome) is a disorder characterized by abnormal absorption of fat and fat-soluble vitamins from food. It is caused by a mutation in microsomal triglyceride transfer protein resulting in deficiencies in the apolipoproteins B-48 and B-100, which are used in the synthesis and exportation of chylomicrons and VLDL respectively. It is not to be confused with familial dysbetalipoproteinemia.
triple-A syndrome
autosomal recessive congenital disorder featuring insufficiency of tears, adrenal insufficiency, and esophageal dysfunction
Johanson-Blizzard syndrome
congenital disorder of digestive system
multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A
autosomal dominant disease characterized by medullary carcinoma of the thyroid, pheochromocytoma, hyperparathyroidism, and occasionally cutaneous lichen amyloidosis
Pearson syndrome
mitochondrial metabolism disease
hypoparathyroidism-deafness-renal disease syndrome
characterized by autosomal dominant inheritance of hypoparathyroidism, sensorineural deafness and progressive renal failure that has material basis in chromosome deletion that results in haploinsufficiency of the GATA3 gene on chromosome 10p14
euthyroid sick syndrome
Secondary allostasis of thyroid function in fetal life, starving and in critical illness
aromatase excess syndrome
human disease
glucocorticoid resistance
medical condition
Morgagni Stewart Morel syndrome
