Shwachman's Syndrome: Pathomorphosis and Long-term Outcome

Abstract: The present data on Shwachman's syndrome diagnosed in infancy underline the possibility of improvement or normalization of exocrine pancreatic function with age, suggesting the need for periodic checks on pancreatic activity in these subjects. It also indicates the possibility of diagnosis of this syndrome in the absence of pancreatic insufficiency; decreasing frequency of infections over time; and the usefulness of early neuropsychological evaluation.

“…[3][4][5][6] Also patients suffering from Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (SDS) display neutrophil chemotaxis defects. [7][8][9][10][11] SDS is characterized by exocrine pancreas defects and neutropenia, often accompanied by thrombocytopenia and anemia. 8,12,13 Most SDS patients have mutations in the SBDS gene located at chromosome 7, which is currently the only known affected gene in SDS.…”
