Pat Ouellette On September 28, 1998 my son Alex was born with thrombocytopenia (low platelet count) and missing radii in both arms. The diagnosis was made as TAR Syndrome, meaning "Thrombocytopenia, Absence of Radius syndrome". Tar Syndrome is a rare genetic disease, when Alex was diagnosed the hospital told us that there were 161 known documented cases in Canada. A Spanish study showed that the estimated frequency of Tar syndrome in their area was .42 per 100,000 live born infants. It is not known if we can assume a similar frequency in Canada and in the United States. The Reason for this web page is to help anyone confronted with TAR's Syndrome and at the same time find support for my own son.

Extractions: helpful? yes no TAR syndrome: Thrombocytopenia and Absent Radius Thrombocytopenia means low platelets. The thrombocytes are the platelets and 'penia' means 'not very much of.' In T hrombocytopenia and A bsent R adius there are low platelets and absence of the radius on both sides (bilaterally). The radius and the ulna are the two bones in the forearm. The radius is the bone that is on the side of the forearm where the thumb is and the ulna is on the side of the arm where the little finger is. There may be other bones involved as well but the unique feature of Thrombocytopenia and Absent Radius is that although the radius is absent, the thumb is present. Most other limb anomalies that involve the radius also affect the thumb. There are a number of other disorders that involve elements of the blood and abnormal structure of bones of the arm and it is important to realise that TAR is a very specific condition. TAR is considered a congenital abnormality since the bone structure is abnormal at birth. TAR has an ongoing problem since during childhood most affected individuals continue to have low platelets. Viral illnesses and other kinds of stress can cause the platelets to become very low and even require platelet transfusions. All individuals with TAR have low platelets but often as they grow older, it becomes less of a problem and affected individuals can outgrow the risk of bleeding related to low platelets. About ninety per cent of individuals with TAR are symptomatic during the first year of life with easy bruising, bleeding from the GI tract or even bleeding into the brain. The level of platelets will fall and rise throughout low platelet episodes. A normal platelet count is greater than two hundred thousand platelets per millilitres squared of blood. Individuals with TAR may have less than ten thousand platelets per millilitres squared when they are having severe episodes.

TAR Syndrome during infancy. tar syndrome is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait.tar syndrome is also known as Radial Aplasia-Amegakaryocytic http://personal.nbnet.nb.ca/seepat/brief.htm
Extractions: Thrombocytopenia-absent radius (TAR) syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that is apparent at birth (congenital). The disorder is characterized by low levels of platelets in the blood (thrombocytopenia), resulting in potentially severe bleeding episodes (hemorrhaging) primarily during infancy. Other characteristic findings include absence (aplasia) of the bone on the thumb side of the forearms (radii) and underdevelopment (hypoplasia) or absence of the bone on the "pinky" side of the forearms (ulnae). Other abnormalities may also be present, such as structural malformations of the heart (congenital heart defects), kidney (renal) defects, and/or mental retardation that may be secondary to bleeding episodes in the skull (intracranial hemorrhages) during infancy. TAR syndrome is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. Tar Syndrome is also known as: - Radial Aplasia-Amegakaryocytic Thrombocytopenia

Review Of TAR By Dr. Judith G. Hall Preface. Professor Hall, OC, MD, is a pioneer in the field of research onthe tar syndrome. 2000 Judith G. Hall and tar syndrome Support Group. http://www.ivh.se/TAR/info/review.htm
Extractions: Professor Hall, OC, MD, is a pioneer in the field of research on the TAR syndrome. Her 1969 review in Medicine both defined the syndrome and named it Thrombocytopenia and Absent Radius (TAR). We are proud to present the following review written by professor Hall specially for this website and in a wording accessible to all. by Judith G. Hall, OC, MD Thrombocytopenia and Absent Radius is certainly a big mouthful but in fact it is simply a descriptive term. Thrombocytopenia means low platelets. The thrombocytes are the platelets and "penia" means "not very much of." There are two bones in the forearm: The radius and the ulna. The radius is the bone that is on the side of the forearm where the thumb is and the ulna is on the side of the arm where the little finger is. In Thrombocytopenia and Absent Radius there are low platelets and absence of the radius on both sides (bilaterally). There may be other bones involved as well but the unique feature of Thrombocytopenia and Absent Radius is that although the radius is absent, the thumb is present. Most other limb anomalies that involve the radius also affect the thumb. There are a number of other disorders that involve elements of the blood and abnormal structure of bones of the arm and it is important to realise that TAR is a very specific condition. The features of each particular syndrome have been fairly well defined although there are always new things that are learned (perhaps even your family can contribute to new knowledge).

Extractions: helpful? yes no Upper limb deficiencies may be traumatic or congenital. Congenital causes may be environmental, genetic or mixed but only a few conditions occur with identified inherited patterns or chromosomal abnormalities. These may include birth injuries such as brachial plexus palsies, in which the baby is often big, with shoulder dystocia causing a traction injury to the nerves to the arm ( Erb's palsy or Klumpke's palsy). Most babies recover within a month, but some may develop a small weak arm. In such cases, surgery to the brachial plexus may be warranted. Whole limb Elbow Radial head dislocation causes mild loss of forearm rotation and a cosmetic bulge over the outer elbow. It is sometimes associated with other skeletal anomalies such as

Extractions: Two New Cases of Thrombocytopenia-Absent Radii (TAR) Syndrome* Ercan Kýrými, MD, Nejat Narlý, MD, Mehmet Satar, MD. Thrombocytopenia-absent radii syndrome is characterized by the neonatal onset thrombocytopenia and bilateral absence or hypoplasia of the radii with normal or poorly formed hands and thumbs. In this paper, two unrelated female infants affected by thrombocytopenia-absent radii syndrome are described. At birth, bilateral micromelia of upper limbs, short and radially curved forearms and hypoplastic arms were observed in infants. A severe thrombocytopenia confirmed the clinical diagnosis of thrombocytopenia-absent radii syndrome. One of them died on 19 th day at home with hemorrhagic complications because she was discharged by her family. Other patient supported with thrombocyte suspensions is now eight months old and is still being followed closely at our outpatient department. As a result, two patients with thrombocytopenia-absent radii syndrome which are seen rarely discussed with physical, laboratory and follow specifications.

Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report. Information on the following diseases can be found in the Related Disorders section of this report: Individuals with Roberts Syndrome are frequently missing bones in the limbs. The bones that are present are often extremely short and the feet and arms may be located close to the trunk (phocomelia). Other symptoms of Roberts Syndrome include a small, broad head (microbrachiocephaly); sparse, silvery hair; low birth weight; growth deficiency; cleft lip with or without cleft palate; widely spaced eyes (hypertelorism); malformed ears; an abnormally small jaw (micrognathia) and undescended testes. Less common symptoms include brain hernia, an abnormal increase in brain fluid resulting in enlargement of the skull (hydrocephaly), unusually small eyes, cataracts, clouding of the cornea, malformed kidneys, heart defects and decreased blood platelets (thrombocytopenia).

They join together when exposed to the air, as in a cut or disturbance of a blood vessel. Platelets are not cells in the conventional sense, but are fragmented pieces of megakaryocyte cytoplasm released from the bone marrow into the bloodstream.
