Confronting perimenopausal women’s knowledge of coronary heart disease with their health behaviours. Controversial role of hormone replacement therapy in the protection of coronary heart disease
Lowe syndrome (oculocerebrorenal syndrome of Lowe – LS) is an ultra-rare, recessive X-linked, multisystem disorder that primarily occurs in males and affects the eyes, nervous system, and kidneys. It is a consequence of mutation of the OCRL gene on chromosome Xq25-26, which encodes phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate 5 phosphatase, a protein present in the Golgi complex, lysosomes, and endosomes. The most common symptoms of LS involve congenital cataracts, neurological retardation, and incomplete Fanconi syndrome, ultimately leading to end-stage renal disease between the second and fourth decade of life. The authors present a boy with the intoxication of vitamin D3 and suspicion of congenital cytomegaly eventually diagnosed with LS at the age of 16 months.
