Abstract Six males in a Chinese family affected by congenital cataracts, cerebellar ataxia, short stature, and mental retardation, which were tentatively named CASM syndrome. Eight female carriers in the family had cataracts alone. [nature.com]
Musculoskeletal
- Muscle Hypotonia
Systemic Features: Males have mild to moderate mental retardation, muscle hypotonia and weakness with postural tremor. Their standing position is broad-based and they are unable to sit or stand otherwise without some support. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
Minor diagnostic criteria include a characteristic high-pitched voice (96%), hepatomegaly (70%), muscle hypotonia (60%), and cutaneous naevi flammei (65%), lumbar lordosis, very thin ribs, and fibrous dysplasia of long bones (25%) (tibia). [sites.uclouvain.be]

Workup
Further efforts to define the correct place for whole exome genetic sequencing in the diagnostic workup of such patients is warranted. [frontiersin.org]
Treatment
Treatment Treatment Options: Cataract surgery may be indicated in young females and may be beneficial in infant boys. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
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]
Abstract Objective A post-hoc analysis of the data from a randomised clinical trial involving prescription of antipsychotic treatment to never treated first-onset psychotic patients was used to compare the weight change after 6-week olanzapine treatment [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]
Prognosis
Diagnosis and Prognosis: The diagnosis can be made at birth by an ophthalmologist in males. The full syndrome requires a neurological evaluation as well. Young girls with cataracts only can be diagnosed by an ophthalmologist. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

Correctly classifying the Castleman disease subtype is important, as the three subtypes vary significantly in symptoms, clinical findings, disease mechanism, treatment approach, and prognosis. Castleman disease is named after Dr. [en.wikipedia.org]
Etiology
They are organised into groups, and further divided into clinical, etiological or histopathological sub-types. [orpha.net]
Diagnosis: clinical findings, aspiration for culture Treatment: parenteral antibiotics, drainage of abcess Course: complete resolution with normal TFT's Subacute Granulomatous (de Quervain's) Not uncommon (more common in women, 5:1) Probable viral etiology [quizlet.com]

Nothing is known regarding the etiology or the mechanism of disease. Treatment Treatment Options: Topical, intravitreal, oral, and subtenon application of steroids apparently have no impact on the progression of the intraocular disease. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

The most common antiphospholipid antibody of pathophysiological relevance is directed against epitopes localised to the cardiolipin 2 glycoprotein I complex. Other antibodies show specificity for prothrombin and annexin V. [jnnp.bmj.com]
