   Extractions: Home Genes Leukemias Solid Tumours ... NA Identity Other names Noonan-like syndrome with nasal papillomata Inheritance The vast majority of cases are sporadic. An increase in mean paternal age has been demonstrated, favouring the hypothesis of dominant de novo mutations, but a microdeletion is an alternative explanation. Clinics Note Costello syndrome is a multiple congenital anomalies/mental retardation syndrome characterised by severe growth abnormalities and a predisposition to develop childhood tumours, especially rhabdomyosarcomas. Phenotype and clinics Costello syndrome is characterised by Growth abnormalities: whereas new-born are often macrosomic and macrocephalic they exhibit severe feeding difficulties and failure to thrive during the first months of life, up to two years of age. After this marasmic period, growth velocity is restored but the final height is short. Ectodermal abnormalities are characterised by loose and dark-coloured skin, and a predisposition to develop multiple papillomata, which when present are highly suggestive of the diagnosis. Mental retardation is usually mild and most patients with CS have an happy, ongoing personality.

   Extractions: Program Nr: 771 Male to male transmission of Costello syndrome consistent with autosomal dominant inheritance. N.M. Bodkin , E.S. Mortimer , L.A. Demmer 1) Department of Pediatrics, Univ of Massachusetts Memorial Health Care, Worcester, MA; 2) Department of Orthopedics, Univ of Massachusetts Memorial Health Care, Worcester, MA. Costello syndrome is a rare disorder involving mental retardation and multiple congenital anomalies. At least 52 patients have been reported with almost all cases presenting as isolated incidents in a family. Therefore the inheritance pattern has not yet been identified. Here we present the case of a 12 year old male with classic Costello syndrome whose father has many of the features of this disorder in an asymmetric pattern on his body suggestive of mosaicism. This apparent father to son transmission suggests that Costello syndrome is inherited as an autosomal dominant disorder. We predict that the father of our patient is a mosaic for Costello syndrome, probably the result of a post-zygotic mutation. Many of the previously reported affected males have a history of undescended testes and several of the females have a history of delayed puberty or amenorrhea. This suggests that infertility may be a feature of Costello syndrome and may account for the fact that there have been no other reported cases of vertical transmission of the disorder. Careful examination of the parents of all affected individuals is recommended when considering recurrence risk for Costello syndrome.

   Extractions: AN INTERESTING CASE OF COSTELLO SYNDROME In 1977 Costello reported two cases of children with poor postnatal growth, developmental delay and dysmorphic features. Some, 20 such children have since been identified by several authors in the last 5 years. Here we describe another child with Costello syndrome who displays interesting features. CLINCAL REPORT H.S. is a 2 1/2 year old girl born at 38 weeks gestation by elective caesarian section with Apgars of 9 at 1 min. and 10 at 5 min. She is the first child of a healthy, unrelated married couple. Mum was 38 years old when H.S. was born and works as a Nursery Off cer. Dad is a Computer Technician at the local University. Antenatal scans had shown nuchal thickening an abnormal upper limb posture. The Karyotype was 46 xx. H.S.required admission to our N.I.C.U. with hypoglycaemia and feeding dificulties.For the first 17 days of life she had a weight loss to 3.28 kg ( above 25th centile) and required tube feeds.Gastro-oesophagael reflux was diagnosed on barium meal (Costello 1977) and a degree of malrotation was also noted, though this did not require treatment. H.S. continued to have difficulties with feeding and problems with weight gain. However, overnight tube feeds and sheer determination of her parents meant that though at 11 months of age she weighed only 6.5 kg (way below the 0.4th centile) she is now gaining weight and has increased to above the 2nd centile for weight. Unlike other children with the syndrome, who have had hypercalcaemia in the neonatal period (Costello 1971), H.S. infact had hypocalcaemia (1.6 mmol at 2 days of age) until day 5 of life. Other metabolic parameters including organic and aminoacids were normal.

   Dr Der Kaloustian reported a similar child and suggested that this particular patternof growth, behavioural and physical features be called costello syndrome.  
   http://www.costellokids.co.uk/about.htm
   
   Extractions: In 1987 Dr Costello a paediatrician in New Zealand, published in the Australian Paediatric Journal a report of two children with similar physical characteristics and mild intellectual handicap. He had published a brief description of the children in a New Zealand Medical Journal some six years before. In 199I Dr Der Kaloustian reported a similar child and suggested that this particular pattern of growth, behavioural and physical features be called Costello Syndrome. The word syndrome is derived from the old Greek and merely means "running together." There are many thousands of syndromes in the medical literature and they often have the name of the first person to recognise that particular constellation of physical and behavioural and developmental characteristics are related with a common, even if unknown cause. Dr Costello in 1996 published a follow up of his original cases and reviewed the characteristics of 16 children in the literature with the diagnoses of Costello Syndrome. If one excluded the cases where the diagnoses has been disputed, there are published reports now on over 26 children. Children with Costello Syndrome have normal birth weight, and may be large at birth with birth weights in the upper normal range. Children with Costello syndrome have normal birth weight, and may be large at birth with birth weights in the upper range. The pregnancies have most often been described as normal but there are occasional reports of decreased foetal movements and there is excess fluid around the baby in approximately a third of the pregnancies.

    and failure to gain weight. All children with costello syndrome havedifficulty feeding and frequently severe failure to thrive.  
    http://www.costellokids.co.uk/about_1.htm
    
    Extractions: Jaundice requiring photo therapy has been described in the new-born period in several cases, but the usual problem that draws attention is difficulty in feeding and failure to gain weight. All children with Costello Syndrome have difficulty feeding and frequently severe failure to thrive. Although they are normal in their dimensions at birth, they cross the growth charts downward. In the first year of life this does not seem to be related to difficulty in feeding, as the weight is difficult to achieve even with the right number of calories and dietary composition. This failure to thrive brings most children with Costello Syndrome to medical attention. Children with Costello syndrome have facial features and physical characteristics that are very similar and readily recognisable. Apart from the overall physical appearance, their are a number of other physical characteristics that are striking. Children with Costello Syndrome often have darker skin or a more olive complexion that is expected for the family. Parts of the skin, Particularly on the hands and feet or arms and legs may become thickened with time. Many children develop warty papules on the skin, particularly around the mouth and nose. It was these skin lesions that led to the recognition of the diagnosis in most children before the condition became as well recognised as it is now. Joint abnormalities are also relatively common. Their may be increased movement at the small joints of the hand and restriction of movement at the elbow. There is often tightening of the tendon at the back of the ankle and in many children this requires surgery.
