Andermann Syndrome
Agenesis of the Corpus Callosum with Peripheral Neuropathy

Presentation

13 (2004) DOI:10.1038/ng1419 Reference PMID:15138899 (NPHP1) Authors Parisi MA, Bennett CL, Eckert ML, Dobyns WB, Gleeson JG, Shaw DW, McDonald R, Eddy A, Chance PF, Glass IA Title The NPHP1 gene deletion associated with juvenile nephronophthisis is present [genome.jp]

Entire Body System

  • Weakness

    People affected by Andermann syndrome have abnormal or absent reflexes (areflexia) and weak muscle tone (hypotonia). [medlineplus.gov]

  • Inflammation

Musculoskeletal

  • Muscle Weakness

    People affected by Andermann syndrome have abnormal or absent reflexes (areflexia) and weak muscle tone (hypotonia). [medlineplus.gov]

Psychiatrical

  • Delusion

    7] Symptoms and signs[edit] Symptoms begin in infancy and include:[2][4] hypotonia areflexia amyotrophy variable degrees of dysgenesis of the corpus callosum mild to severe intellectual and developmental delay psychiatric problems including paranoid delusions [en.wikipedia.org]

Neurologic

  • Areflexia

    People affected by Andermann syndrome have abnormal or absent reflexes (areflexia) and weak muscle tone (hypotonia). [medlineplus.gov]

  • Facial Muscle Weakness

    Cranial nerve problems may result in facial muscle weakness, drooping eyelids (ptosis), and difficulty following movements with the eyes (gaze palsy). [medlineplus.gov]

  • Tremor

    They experience muscle wasting (amyotrophy), severe progressive weakness and loss of sensation in the limbs, and rhythmic shaking (tremors). [medlineplus.gov]

Workup

[…] other irreversible changes.[8] The lack of innervation of the body musculature during development gives rise to small body weights, often below 40 kg (88 lb), remarkable in view of the preserved brain weights.[8] Diagnosis[edit] A typical diagnostic workup [en.wikipedia.org]

Treatment

[…] typical diagnostic workup includes:[9] Clinical features Electrophysiologic testing Molecular genetic testing (SLC12A6) Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain (revealing in 60% of the patients callosal agenesis and in 10% partial callosal agenesis) Treatment [en.wikipedia.org]

A patient-based model of RNA mis-splicing uncovers treatment targets in Parkinson's disease. [parkinson.lu]

Prognosis

[edit] The prognosis is poor. [en.wikipedia.org]
