Blue rubber bleb nevus(BRBNS)

MedGen UID:
83401
Concept ID:
C0346072
Congenital Abnormality
Synonyms: Bean syndrome; Blue Rubber Bleb Nevus Syndrome; BRBNS
SNOMED CT: Blue rubber bleb nevus (254784002); Blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome (254784002)
Modes of inheritance:
Autosomal dominant inheritance
MedGen UID:
141047
Concept ID:
C0443147
Intellectual Product
Source: Orphanet
A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in heterozygotes. In the context of medical genetics, an autosomal dominant disorder is caused when a single copy of the mutant allele is present. Males and females are affected equally, and can both transmit the disorder with a risk of 50% for each child of inheriting the mutant allele.
Not genetically inherited
MedGen UID:
988794
Concept ID:
CN307044
Finding
Source: Orphanet
clinical entity without genetic inheritance.
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0007203

Definition

A rare vascular malformation disorder with cutaneous and visceral lesions frequently associated with serious, potentially fatal bleeding and anemia. [from ORDO]

Clinical features

From HPO
Hemangioma
MedGen UID:
5477
Concept ID:
C0018916
Neoplastic Process
A hemangioma is a benign tumor characterized by blood-filled spaces lined by benign endothelial cells. A hemangioma characterized by large endothelial spaces (caverns) is called a cavernous hemangioma (in contrast to a hemangioma with small endothelial spaces, which is called capillary hemangioma).
Intussusception
MedGen UID:
43940
Concept ID:
C0021933
Disease or Syndrome
An abnormality of the intestine in which part of the intestine invaginates (telescopes) into another part of the intestine.
Rectal prolapse
MedGen UID:
11151
Concept ID:
C0034888
Disease or Syndrome
Protrusion of the rectal mucous membrane through the anus.
Volvulus
MedGen UID:
21892
Concept ID:
C0042961
Disease or Syndrome
Abnormal twisting of a portion of intestine around itself or around a stalk of mesentery tissue.
Intestinal bleeding
MedGen UID:
75632
Concept ID:
C0267373
Finding
Bleeding from the intestines.
Abnormality of the liver
MedGen UID:
893061
Concept ID:
C4021780
Finding
An abnormality of the liver.
Cerebellar medulloblastoma
MedGen UID:
870487
Concept ID:
C4024934
Neoplastic Process
Thrombocytopenia
MedGen UID:
52737
Concept ID:
C0040034
Disease or Syndrome
A reduction in the number of circulating thrombocytes.
Iron deficiency anemia
MedGen UID:
57668
Concept ID:
C0162316
Disease or Syndrome
Anemia caused by low iron intake, inefficient iron absorption in the gastrointestinal tract, or chronic blood loss.
Chronic disseminated intravascular coagulation
MedGen UID:
354681
Concept ID:
C1862184
Disease or Syndrome
A chronic form of disseminated intravascular coagulation in which a persistent weak or intermittent activating stimulus is present and destruction and production of coagulation factors and platelets are balanced.
Pathologic fracture
MedGen UID:
42095
Concept ID:
C0016663
Pathologic Function
A pathologic fracture occurs when a bone breaks in an area that is weakened secondarily to another disease process such as tumor, infection, and certain inherited bone disorders. A pathologic fracture can occur without a degree of trauma required to cause fracture in healthy bone.
Abnormality of the respiratory system
MedGen UID:
866322
Concept ID:
C4018871
Anatomical Abnormality
An abnormality of the respiratory system, which include the airways, lungs, and the respiratory muscles.
Abnormality of the mouth
MedGen UID:
6447
Concept ID:
