RIDDLE syndrome is a rare genetic syndrome. The name is an acronym for Radiosensitivity, ImmunoDeficiency Dysmorphic features and Learning difficulties.
Presentation[edit]
The features of this condition include:[citation needed]
- Facial dysmorphism
- Short stature
- Mild motor control and learning difficulties
- Mild ataxia
- Microcephaly
- Normal intelligence
- Conjunctival telangiectasia
- Recurrent sinus infections
- Decreased serum IgA
- Late onset of pulmonary fibrosis
- Increased alpha-fetoprotein
- Increased radiosensitivity
Genetics[edit]
This condition is due to mutations in the RNF168 gene. It is inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion. The gene encodes a ubiquitin ligase and is located on the long arm of chromosome 3 (3q29) on the Crick (minus strand).[1]
Diagnosis[edit]
Differential diagnosis[edit]
The DDx is [citation needed]
- Ataxia telangectasia
- Artemis deficiency
- Immunodeficiency 26 (PKCS gene deficiency)
- LIG4 syndrome
- Nijmegen breakage syndrome
- Severe combined immunodeficiency with Cernunnos
- X-linked agammaglobulinemia

Epidemiology[edit]
This condition is extremely rare. Only four cases have been described up to 2017.[2]
History[edit]
This syndrome was first described by Stewart et al. 2007.[3]
