You may also want to contact a university or tertiary medical center in your area, because these centers tend to see more complex cases and have the latest technology and treatments. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

Pedigree: X-linked recessive, carrier mother X-linked recessive, father affected Treatment Treatment Options: Treatment for the ocular symptoms is targeted toward specific problems. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

Treatment There is no specific treatment of the disordered, so the symptoms assessment is recommended. The intestines’ movement failure should be diagnosed as soon as possible or the child will die during infancy. [medigoo.com]

The prognosis is poor because of immunological abnormalities and recurrent severe infections. [ 2 ] [pediatricneurologybriefs.com]

Associations cleft lip and palate Hirschsprung disease CT scan inner ear abnormalities, including aplasia of the posterior semicircular canal 6,7 Treatment and prognosis hearing loss: hearing augmentation cochlear implantation for severe hearing loss [radiopaedia.org]

Prognosis Lifespan, development, intelligence, and fertility in patients with OCA are not different from unaffected patients. [eyewiki.aao.org]

Prognosis Growth, development and intellectual development in the child are normal. Vision is invariably severely impaired [ 2 ]. A spectrum of structure and function exists in albinism. [patient.info]

Etiology Biochemical pathway leading to melanin production. Note that Tyrosinase is essential for the first two steps of the pathway. [eyewiki.aao.org]
