Abstract
Crisponi / cold-induced sweating syndrome (CS/CISS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by episodic hyperthermia, arthrogryposis, impaired feeding ability, and respiratory distress. The classic CS/CISS is mainly associated with CRLF1 and, rarely, CLCF1. PERCHING syndrome, previously known as CS/CISS type-3 associated with biallelic pathogenic variants in KLHL7, is notable for its few overlapping manifestations. This study presents genotype-phenotype relationships in CS/CISS-like spectrum associated with CRLF1 and KLHL7. Clinical findings of 19 patients from 14 families and four patients from three families were found in association with six different CRLF1 and three different KLHL7 variants, respectively. c.167 T > C and c.713delC of the CRLF1 gene and the c.642G > C of the KLHL7 were novel. The c.708_709delCCinsT allele of CRLF1 was identified in 10 families from the Mardin province of Turkey, underlining that an ancestral haplotype has become widespread. CRLF1-associated phenotypes revealed novel manifestations such as prenatal oligohydramnios, benign external hydrocephalus, previously unreported dysmorphic features emerging with advancing age, severe palmoplantar keratoderma and facial erythema, hypopigmented macules and streaks, and recurrent cardiac arrests. KLHL7 variants presented with glabellar nevus flammeus, blepharophimosis, microcephaly, thin corpus callosum, and cleft palate. Abnormalities of sweating, observed in one patient reported herein, is known to be very rare among KLHL7-related phenotypes. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
Mutations in Kelch-like family member 7 (KLHL7) have recently been described as a cause of a constellation of clinical findings with descriptions of both a Crisponi syndrome (CS)/cold-induced sweating syndrome type 1 (CISS1)-like, as well as a Bohring-Opitz syndrome (BOS)-like presentation. Here we report two siblings of Guatelmalan descent with a novel homozygous nonsense mutation (p.Arg326*) in KLHL7. These children have multiple dysmorphic features and developmental delay. Interestingly, their clinical traits inconsistently overlap both the CS/CISS1-like and BOS-like phenotypes, and the siblings also have subtle differences from each other, suggesting that clinicians need to be aware of the degree of variability in the presentations of these patients. Still, there is enough in common between patients with recessive KLHL7 mutations to define a novel multisystem disease that features various neurodevelopmental, musculoskeletal, dysmorphic, and other unique components. This report adds to the clinical features and disease-associated variants of the newly-recognized spectrum of KLHL7 mutations, and offers a new description, PERCHING, for the resulting syndrome.

Abstract
Trismus refers to any condition inducing limited mouth opening and may present as a result of acquired or congenital pathology. We present the case of a newborn who presented with severe, congenital trismus due to brainstem dysgenesis. We describe the course of his investigations, and a multidisciplinary approach to the management of his care and follow-up. To our knowledge, this is one of the earliest reported cases of congenital trismus attributable to brainstem dysgenesis. A literature review was conducted to provide an overview of the differential pathogenesis as it presents in congenital cases and discuss the complexity of managing congenital trismus due to brainstem dysgenesis in a neonate and infant.

Abstract
Crisponi/CISS1 syndrome (MIM#272430) is a rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by major feeding difficulties, camptodactyly, and anhidrosis in early childhood; and the subsequent development of paradoxical cold-induced sweating and scoliosis later in life. The syndrome is caused by biallelic mutations in CRLF1 or, much less commonly, CLCF1. Although genotype/phenotype correlation has been elusive, it has been suggested that the level of the mutant protein may correlate with the phenotypic severity. However, we show in this series of 12 patients from four families, all previously unpublished, that the homogeneity of the recently described c.983dupG (p.Ser328Argfs∗2) mutation in CRLF1 was associated with a highly variable degree of severity, and that the phenotype significantly overlaps with the recently described COG6-related anhidrosis syndrome (MIM#615328). Another fifth previously unpublished family is also described with a novel mutation in CRLF1, c.605delC (p.Ala202Valfs*32). In Saudi Arabia the prevalence of the syndrome is probably underestimated due to the difficulty in making the diagnosis considering the complex phenotype with typical neonatal and evolutive features.

Abstract
Cold-induced sweating syndrome (CISS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by profuse sweating at cold environmental temperatures, facial dysmorphism and skeletal features. The infantile presentation of CISS, referred to as Crisponi syndrome (CS), is characterized by facial muscular contractures in response to slight tactile stimuli or during crying, by life-threatening feeding difficulties caused by suck and swallow inabilities, and by intermittent hyperthermia. High febrile crises can lead to death within the first months of life. In preadolescence, surviving patients develop kyphoscoliosis and abnormal sweating. CISS is a genetically heterogeneous disorder caused by mutations in CRLF1 in more than 90 percent of patients (CISS1) and by mutations in CLCF1 in the remaining patients (CISS2). It is now well demonstrated that all patients with an infantile-onset CS will develop CISS, confirming that CS and CISS are not "allelic disorders" but the same clinical entity described at different ages of affected patients. Here we report on a Turkish patient with a phenotype consistent with CS/CISS1 and a nonsense homozygous mutation (c.829C>T, p.R277X) in the CRLF1 gene. This mutation has already been reported in another Turkish patient with CS/CISS1.

Abstract
Crisponi syndrome is an infrequently described disorder with autosomal recessive trait. It is characterized by extensive muscular contractions in the face after even minimal stimuli or crying, hypertonia, opisthotonus, camptodactyly, and typical facial features. Muscle contractions attenuate during rest or when the infant calms down. As a recently described new disease, Crisponi syndrome may be confused with epileptic manifestations. Most of the patients die in the first months of life due to hyperthermia and feeding problems. Recently, it has been demonstrated that mutations of the CRLF1 gene 'cytokine receptor-like factor 1' are associated with Crisponi syndrome. Here, we present a newborn diagnosed with Crisponi syndrome and report a novel homozygous CFRL1 gene mutation.

Abstract
The case of a patient presenting with Crisponi syndrome recently hospitalized at our institution is described. During pregnancy a diagnosis of this syndrome was hypothesized following sonographic observation of the fetus with the hands showing 'the sign of the horns'. Such a finding, if isolated, as in our case, may represent a simple, pathognomonic sonographic marker of Crisponi syndrome.

Abstract
Cytokine-like factor 1 (CLF1) is a secreted receptor belonging to the interleukin-6 family of cytokines. CLF1 and its physiologic partner, cardiotrophin-like cytokine (CLC) are secreted as a heterodimer and engage the tripartite signaling complex of ciliary neurotrophic factor receptor (CNTFR), leukemia inhibitory factor (LIFR) and gp130. Ligation of this receptor complex leads to activation of the STAT3 and MAPK pathways and mediates survival pathways in neurons. Mutations in CLF1, CLC, or CNTFR in mice lead to the birth of mice that die on post-natal day 1 because of an inability to nurse. These animals exhibit significant decreases in the number of motor neurons in the facial nucleus and the spinal cord. CLF1 or CLC deficiency is associated with the development of the human cold-induced sweating syndromes. A growing body of research suggests that CLF1 expression may be associated with several post-natal disease processes. In this review, we summarize the current understanding of CLF1 expression and suggest future studies to understand the potentially important role of CLF1 in postnatal life and disease.

Abstract
Crisponi syndrome (CS) and cold-induced sweating syndrome type 1 (CISS1) are disorders caused by mutations in CRLF1. The two syndromes share clinical characteristics, such as dysmorphic features, muscle contractions, scoliosis and cold-induced sweating, with CS patients showing a severe clinical course in infancy involving hyperthermia, associated with death in most cases in the first years of life. To evaluate a potential genotype/phenotype correlation and whether CS and CISS1 represent two allelic diseases or manifestations at different ages of the same disorder, we carried out a detailed clinical analysis of 19 patients carrying mutations in CRLF1. We studied the functional significance of the mutations found in CRLF1, providing evidence that phenotypic severity of the two disorders mainly depends on altered kinetics of secretion of the mutated CRLF1 protein. On the basis of these findings, we believe that the two syndromes, CS and CISS1, represent manifestations of the same disorder, with different degrees of severity. We suggest renaming the two genetic entities CS and CISS1 with the broader term of Sohar-Crisponi syndrome.

Abstract
Cold-induced sweating syndrome (CISS), a rare autosomal recessive disorder, is genetically heterogeneous. Deficiency of the CRLF1 and the CLCF1 gene functions results in CISS1 and CISS2, respectively. So far, only a single patient with CISS2 has been reported. Here we describe four new cases of CISS, two additional patients with CISS2 (confirming locus heterogeneity) and two patients with CISS1. Their case histories are given in detail to emphasize the striking similarity of their presentation, which makes a clinical differentiation impossible. All four cases had a uniform presentation in the neonatal period, much like Crisponi syndrome - inability to suckle and swallow due to facial and bulbar weakness; excessive startle and trismus-like facial contractions when crying or being handled; apnoeic spells; episodic unexplained fevers (up to 41 degrees C) and associated seizures or even sudden death; erythematous skin rashes; and camptodactyly. Thus it is evident that Crisponi syndrome is the pediatric manifestation of both CISS1 and CISS2. Signs abate during infancy and most children have a normal psychomotor development. During the first decade all children develop scoliosis and abnormal sweating which is the most disabling symptom in adulthood. We report that cold-induced sweating can be effectively treated. Detailed clinical observations, correlated with the findings from basic science research, may serve to elucidate the role(s) of this important cytokine complex in embryonic and postnatal development.

Abstract
Cold-induced sweating syndrome (CISS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in CRLF1 (cytokine receptor-like factor 1), characterized by profuse sweating in cold environmental temperature and craniofacial and skeletal features. Mutations in CRLF1 also cause Crisponi syndrome (CS), characterized by neonatal-onset paroxysmal muscular contractions as well as craniofacial and skeletal manifestations and abnormal functions of the autonomic nerve system. To date, it is an unresolved problem whether the two conditions are distinct clinical entities or a single clinical entity with variable expressions or with different presentations depending on the patients' age at diagnosis. We report on a 30-year-old Japanese woman with CISS and homozygous out-of-frame 23-base deletion of CRLF1. In infancy, she did not show paroxysmal muscular contractions, but showed feeding difficulty, hyperthermia, and facial characteristics including thick and arched eyebrows, a short nose with anteverted nostrils, full cheeks, an inverted upper lip, and a small mouth, resembling those observed in CS. Profuse sweating was noticed at 3 years of age. Cold-induced sweating was recognized in her elementary school days. In adolescence to adulthood, she showed a Marfanoid habitus with progressive kyphoscoliosis and craniofacial characteristics including dolichocephaly, a slender face with poor expression, a distinctive nose with hypoplastic nares, malar hypoplasia, prognathism, and a small mouth. This is the first report of detailed longitudinal observation of a patient with CRLF1 abnormalities, compatible with the notion that CISS and CS may be a single clinical entity.

Abstract
Stuve Wiedemann syndrome (SWS) is an autosomal recessively inherited syndrome which is characterized by bowing of the long bones, camptodactyly, facial dysmorphism, hypotonia, feeding and swallowing difficulties, and respiratory distress. In most cases episodes of unexplained hyperthermia are present. Patients with SWS can develop hyperthermia in conjunction with anesthesia and surgery, and a relationship has been suggested between the syndrome and malignant hyperthermia. We describe a 3-year-old child diagnosed with SWS to whom we administered general anesthesia during the removal of a corneal ulcer and dilatation of the lacrimal duct. Our patient had received, uncomplicated, inhalational anesthesia five times previously for different operations. There were no anesthesia-related complications in the present or previous perioperative periods. On one occasion the patient developed mild postoperative hyperthermia. We believe that this hyperthermia is different from the specific disorder of malignant hyperthermia and that sevoflurane can be safely used in patients with SWS. We also describe symptomatically related syndromes and their theoretical risks for anesthesia.

Abstract
Crisponi syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by congenital muscular contractions of facial muscles, with trismus in response to stimuli, dysmorphic features, bilateral camptodactyly, major feeding and respiratory difficulties, and access of hyperthermia leading to death in the first months of life. The overlap with Stuve-Wiedemann syndrome (SWS) is striking, but the two conditions differ in that congenital lower limb bowing is absent in Crisponi syndrome, whereas it is a cardinal feature of SWS. We report here the exclusion of the leukemia inhibitory factor receptor gene in Crisponi syndrome and the identification of homozygote or compound heterozygote cytokine receptor-like factor 1 (CRLF1) mutations in four children from three unrelated families. The four mutations were located in the immunoglobulin-like and type III fibronectin domains, and three of them predicted premature termination of translation. Using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, we found a significant decrease in CRLF1 mRNA expression in patient fibroblasts, which is suggestive of a mutation-mediated decay of the abnormal transcript. CRLF1 forms a heterodimer complex with cardiotrophin-like cytokine factor 1, and this heterodimer competes with ciliary neurotrophic factor for binding to the ciliary neurotrophic factor receptor (CNTFR) complex. The identification of CRLF1 mutations in Crisponi syndrome supports the key role of the CNTFR pathway in the function of the autonomic nervous system.

Abstract
Crisponi syndrome is a severe autosomal recessive condition that is phenotypically characterized by abnormal, paroxysmal muscular contractions resembling neonatal tetanus, large face, broad nose, anteverted nares, camptodactyly, hyperthermia, and sudden death in most cases. We performed homozygosity mapping in five Sardinian and three Turkish families with Crisponi syndrome, using high-density single-nucleotide polymorphism arrays, and identified a critical region on chromosome 19p12-13.1. The most prominent candidate gene was CRLF1, recently found to be involved in the pathogenesis of cold-induced sweating syndrome type 1 (CISS1). CISS1 belongs to a group of conditions with overlapping phenotypes, also including cold-induced sweating syndrome type 2 and Stuve-Wiedemann syndrome. All these syndromes are caused by mutations of genes of the ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF)-receptor pathway. Here, we describe the identification of four different CRLF1 mutations in eight different Crisponi-affected families, including a missense mutation, a single-nucleotide insertion, and a nonsense and an insertion/deletion (indel) mutation, all segregating with the disease trait in the families. Comparison of the mutation spectra of Crisponi syndrome and CISS1 suggests that neither the type nor the location of the CRLF1 mutations points to a phenotype/genotype correlation that would account for the most severe phenotype in Crisponi syndrome. Other, still-unknown molecular factors may be responsible for the variable phenotypic expression of the CRLF1 mutations. We suggest that the syndromes can comprise a family of "CNTF-receptor-related disorders," of which Crisponi syndrome would be the newest member and allelic to CISS1.

Abstract
The Crisponi syndrome is an infrequently described syndrome characterized by extensive muscular contractions in the face after even minimal stimuli, hypertonia, camptodactyly, and typical facial features (chubby cheeks, broad nose with anteverted nares, and long philtrum). Most patients have died in the first months of life due to hyperthermia. The syndrome has been described in Italians only; the inheritance pattern is most probably autosomal recessive. Here we describe a 4-year-old boy of Portuguese descent with this entity. Polysomnography during a paroxysmal muscle contraction showed severe obstructive breathing pattern. The overall breathing pattern outside the attacks showed a bizarre mix of disorders of control of breathing with central apneas, hypopnea, obstructive apneas, and long periods of expiratory apneas while the boy was awake. The hyperexcitability disappeared in the course of the first year of life. With time it became clear that he was developmentally delayed. A short review is provided, and the resemblance with the Stuve-Wiedemann syndrome is stressed.
