Leprechaunismus

Das Donohue-Syndrom (Leprechaunismus) ist eine autosomal rezessive Erkrankung, die durch eine loss-of-function Mutation des Insulinrezeptors hervorgerufen wird. Die Folge sind Hyperinsulinismus und verschiedene körperliche Abnormalitäten: Einschrämkung des Wachstums, Lipoatrophie, Charakteristische Gesichtsveränderungen, Acanthosis nigrans und eine Insulinresistenz.

Geschichtliches

Das Syndrom wurde zuerst von Donohue und Uchida im Jahr 1954 beschrieben. Es weist viele Ähnlichkeiten zu dem wenig später publizierten Rabson-Mendenhall-Syndrom auf.[Error: Macro 'ref' doesn't exist]

Symptome

Acanthosis nigricans
Die Insulinresistenz beim Leprechaunismus ist von einer Acanthosis nigricans begleitet.
