• Nystagmus

  The neurological examination may reveal nystagmus, dysarthria, intention tremors and involuntary movements of limbs. Pathogenesis Aceruloplasminemia is caused by mutations in the gene encoding ceruloplasmin. [flipper.diff.org]

Treatment of aceruloplasminemia is mainly based on the control of iron overload. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis Prognosis may include heart failure due to cardiac iron overload. To date five patients with aceruloplasminemia are known to have died from heart failure probably due to cardiac iron overload in their sixties. [orpha.net]

The neurological outcome has an adverse effect on the prognosis, which may result in fatality. Therefore, early diagnosis and intervention may prevent a devastating neurological damage. [journals.lww.com]

Treatment and prognosis Treatment is with iron chelation therapy, using agents such as desferrioxamine 10. [radiopaedia.org]

Etiology Aceruloplasminemia is caused by a complete absence of ceruloplasmin ferroxidase activity caused by homozygous mutation of the ceruloplasmin ( CP ) gene (3q23-q24). [orpha.net]

Etiology Aceruloplasminemia is inherited as an autosomal recessive condition, which means both copies of the gene of Ceruloplasmin in each cell have mutations. [flipper.diff.org]
