DOOR syndrome (deafness, onycho‐osteodystrophy, and mental retardation): A new patient and delineation of neurologic variability among recessive cases

Abstract: We report the seventeenth case of the recessive form of the DOOR syndrome. The parents were Guatemalan and not known to be consanguineous. The patient had developmental delay, severe sensorineural deafness, and abnormal nails and phalanges in the hands and feet. Urinary 2-oxoglutarate excretion was normal. The patient was among a subset of DOOR syndrome patients without seizures in infancy. This observation may be useful in discussing the prognosis for newly identified cases.

“…The DOOR(S) syndrome (deafness, onychodystrophy, osteodystrophy, retardation and for some authors seizures, adding an S to DOOR) shares radiographic and clinical features with TBS; long thumbs, broad big toes, ptosis, broad nasal bridge, long philtrum and downturned corners of the mouth and abnormal phalanges in the first ray. Triphalangism in the first rays is present in about 1/3 of DOOR syndrome case [Lin et al, 1993] and it could be argued that triphalangism is a developmental equivalent to the pseudoepiphysis found in TBS. DOOR patients present mild or severe developmental and mental delay (with regression in motor milestones documented in some patients).…”

“…The disease "deafness and onychodystrophy" (DOD) is usually classified into two genetically distinct groups, an autosomal recessive form -DOOR (deafness, onychoosteodystrophy, mental retardation) syndrome (MIM *220500a) (Cantwell 1975;Sanchez et al 1981;Lin et al 1993) and a dominant (D) form (DDOD, MIM *124480) (Robinson et al 1962). Clinically, patients with DOOR syndrome show features such as severe-to-mild mental retardation, seizures, mutism, hypotonia, congenital sensorineural deafness, triphalangeal thumb, and hypoplastic nails.…”

“…Examination of the hands reveals small or absent nails in all cases. Fingernails I and/or V are often absent, while others are hypoplastic [Walbaum et al, 1970; Sanchez et al, 1981; Lin et al, 1993; Felix et al, 2002]. The thumb may be long, “fingerlike” with an extra flexion crease and bulbous terminal phalange.…”

“…The DOOR acronym was formalized in 1974 in a case report of a woman with profound mental retardation, sensorineural deafness, and anomalies of the digits and nails [Cantwell, 1975]. The majority of patients with DOOR syndrome have elevated levels of 2‐oxoglutaric acid in the urine and plasma [Patton et al, 1987]; however this is not a consistent finding among all reports [Lin et al, 1993; Bos et al, 1994; Felix et al, 2002]. Those with DOOR syndrome were found in a case‐control study to have decreased activity of the E1 component of the 2‐oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex, a finding that has not yet been repeated [Surendran et al, 2002].…”
