“…The increased parental consan- guinity suggests autosomal recessive inheritance that is well known for jejunal atresia in apple peel syndrome (MIM# 24360) [Mishalany and Najjar, 1968;Seashore et al, 1987], as well as for jejunoileal atresia (MIM# 24315), and for some instances of duodenal atresia (MIM# 22340) [Anneren et al, 1998]. The increased parental consanguinity in cases with isolated duodenal atresia suggests an autosomal recessive inheritance.…”

Isolated small intestinal atresias in Latin America and Spain: Epidemiological analysis

Stenosis, atresia, or absence of part of the duodenum, jejunum, or ileum are generally considered small intestinal atresias (SIAs). SIAs occur as isolated defects, in combination with other unrelated congenital anomalies, or as part of syndromes. We performed an epidemiological study of infants with isolated SIAs using data from two large congenital defects registries, one from Latin America (ECLAMC) and the other from Spain (ECEMC). The overall prevalence of SIAs is similar in both programs, being 1.32 per 10,000 livebirths in Spain and 1.29 per 10.000 livebirths in Latin America. Our results suggest that infants with isolated SIAs are characterized epidemiologically on the basis of shorter gestational age and low birthweight, an association with twinning, the parents are more frequently consanguineous, and their pregnancies are more frequently complicated by vaginal bleeding. The results also suggest an association between some maternal infections and ileal atresia. The fact that these characteristics have been observed in children with these types of anomalies occurring in different geographical areas and populations supports the conclusion that these characteristics are causally related to these defects.

“…Familial inheritance and genetic susceptibility are supported in types IIIb and IV jejuno-ileal atresia [4]. Jejunal atresia was reported in 3 siblings of a family suggestive of its possible inheritance through an autosomal recessive gene [5]; Nevertheless, the authors did not describe the type of the atresia in their cases. Shorter et al [6] reported a case of type IIIb jejunal atresia in a boy with history of jejunal atresia in another sibling.…”

“…Small bowel malrotation is one of the most common surgical emergencies of childhood, with a reported frequency of 1 in 6000 live births [1][2][3][4]. Although familial atresia has been known for some time, marly of these cases are found in association with small bowel malrotation [1,2].…”

Small bowel malrotation in each of a pair of identical twins

A rare case of small bowel malrotation occurring in each of a pair of identical twins is presented. The conflicting evidence in the literature regarding possible hereditary influences is reviewed. This case raises the intriguing question of whether this disorder is due to a prenatal insult, an autosomal recessive gene, or a new autosomal dominant mutation. If one identical twin is found to have a small bowel malrotation, the authors strongly advise that the other twin be screened.
