Yunis Varon Syndrome (YVS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by skeletal abnormalities, intellectual disability, and other developmental abnormalities. It is an autosomal recessive disorder, meaning that both parents must carry a copy of the mutated gene for their child to be affected.
The ICD-10 code for Yunis Varon Syndrome is Q87.8. This code falls under the category of "Other specified congenital malformation syndromes affecting multiple systems." The ICD-10 is a standardized coding system used by healthcare professionals to classify and code diagnoses, symptoms, and procedures.
Unfortunately, there is no specific ICD-9 code for Yunis Varon Syndrome. The ICD-9 system, which was used prior to the implementation of ICD-10, does not have a direct equivalent for this particular syndrome. However, healthcare providers may have used a combination of ICD-9 codes to describe the individual symptoms and abnormalities associated with YVS.
Yunis Varon Syndrome is characterized by a wide range of clinical features, including:
Diagnosis of Yunis Varon Syndrome is typically based on clinical evaluation, medical history, and genetic testing. Genetic testing can identify mutations in the FIG4 gene, which is associated with YVS.
Management of Yunis Varon Syndrome involves a multidisciplinary approach to address the various medical, developmental, and psychosocial needs of affected individuals. Treatment may include physical therapy to manage skeletal abnormalities, educational interventions to support intellectual development, and surgical interventions to address specific complications.
It is important for individuals with Yunis Varon Syndrome to receive regular medical follow-up to monitor their growth, development, and overall health. Early intervention and ongoing support can greatly improve the quality of life for individuals with YVS and their families.
