Abstract
SummaryMany different pulmonary manifestations are seen in conjunction with genetic disorders. Pulmonary findings have been noted with some cytogenetic conditions, many single gene or mendelian disorders, as well as with a number of inborn errors of metabolism. In addition, congenital lung anomalies are relatively common, occurring as isolated anomalies and as part of multiple anomaly syndromes. Recognition of pulmonary problems in patients with genetic disorders may lead to prompt treatment and intervention, which ultimately might translate into improved outcome. This review is focused on the clinical aspects rather than the basic science; comprehensive reviews on specific disease entities are readily available.
