Alveolar Capillary Dysplasia

Common Name(s)

Alveolar Capillary Dysplasia

Alveolar Capillary Dysplasia (ACD) is a very rare disease that exists at birth. It causes the respiratory (breathing) tubes within th lungs to form incorrectly. ACD is a cause of high blood pressure within the lungs in infants. Unfortunately there is a high level of early mortality for individuals with ACD, typically before birth (fetal demise or stillbirth), and one of the longest living survivors lived until the age of two months.

A Novel De Novo Pathogenic Variant in FOXF1 in a Newborn with Alveolar Capillary Dysplasia with Misalignment of Pulmonary Veins.
 

Author(s): Youngeun Ma, Mi Ae Jang, Hye Soo Yoo, So Yoon Ahn, Se In Sung, Yun Sil Chang, Chang Seok Ki, Won Soon Park

Journal: Yonsei Med. J.. 2017 May;58(3):672-675.

 

Alveolar capillary dysplasia with misalignment of pulmonary veins (ACD/MPV) is an autosomal dominant, fatal developmental disorder of the lungs, with a mortality rate of about 100%. ACD/MPV is caused by mutations in FOXF1. Herein, we describe a newborn boy with ACD/MPV carrying a ...
