Griscelli syndrome has to be distinguished from Chediak-Higashi syndrome and Elejalde disease, which can also present with silvery hair. [pigmentinternational.com]

Primary neurological presentation is rare. [casereports.in]

GS1 presents with primarily neurologic impairment with no immunologic involvement while GS2 presents with immunological dysfunction and multisystem involvement, whereas GS3 have only hypomelanosis. [e-ijd.org]

The melanosomes are present in the center of melanocytes but must be transported to the outer part of the cells and into other cells in order to provide the pigmentation. [mybiosource.com]

Case Presentation Eleven Years old Saudi boy, followed up at our clinic since the age of 2 months, for Partial Albinism since birth. [omicsonline.org]

• Intermittent Fever

  Case report A 7-year-old girl was admitted with intermittent fever for 1-month with no weight loss, anorexia or other constitutional symptoms. [ijpd.in]

• Scleral Icterus

  On physical exam, she had bronze, jaundiced skin with scleral icterus. Her hair was silvery-gray with a metallic sheen on the frontal scalp and brown on the temporal and occipital scalp (Figure 1). [jddonline.com]

• Diplopia

  Affiliated tissues include skin, bone and bone marrow, and related phenotypes are nystagmus and diplopia Disease Ontology : 12 A Griscelli syndrome characterized by silvery gray sheen of the hair, hypopigmentation of the skin and neurological impairment [malacards.org]

  The neurological deficits in Elejalde syndrome were reported as severe neurodevelopmental delay, seizures, hypotonia, and ophthalmological problems including nystagmus, diplopia, and retinal problems. [link.springer.com]

• Muscle Hypotonia

  These individuals are prone to have developmental delays, seizures, weak muscle (hypotonia), vision problems and intellectual problems. This results in the defect of the gene MY05A. [mybiosource.com]

• Cranial Nerve Involvement

  There was no history of fever, rash, recent intramuscular injection, convulsions, altered sensorium, involuntary movements, cranial nerve involvement, trauma or diarrhoea. The child had no significant illnesses or admissions in the past. [symbiosisonlinepublishing.com]

Sepsis workup and CSF study including cytospin for malignant cells were negative. LDH was mildly elevated and serum ferritin, fibrinogen levels, triglycerides were normal ruling out possibility of hemo-phagocytosis [Table 1]. [casereports.in]

The work up for all these disorders came to be negative and child was referred to our facility for further workup. [e-ijd.org]

• Lymphocytic Infiltrate

  Although individuals with GS2 characteristically develop immunological abnormalities and a poor prognosis as a result of RAB27A mutations, they may also have neurological features due to lymphocytic infiltration of the brain or haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]

  Neurologic manifestations occurring in patients with Griscelli syndrome caused by the RAB27A mutation are related to lymphocyte infiltration of the CNS. These problems are not as severe as those found in Griscelli syndrome caused by MYO5A mutations. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Treatment - Griscelli syndrome type 1 Treatment is aimed at the cause, if one can be found. Supportive therapy includes an anti-inflammatory, an antihistamine, and rest. [checkorphan.org]

Allogenic bone-marrow transplantation (BMT) is the only known curative treatment in this disease. [en.wikipedia.org]

Prognosis If not treated by HSCT, the prognosis for long-term survival in GS type 2 is relatively poor, with many patients not surviving the first decade. The prognosis of GS type 1 is good. [orpha.net]

Prognosis depends on the severity of neurologic manifestations. Type 2 GS patients have mutations in RAB27A and hemophagocytic syndrome, with abnormal T-cell and macrophage activation. This type has a grave prognosis if untreated. [jddonline.com]

Since prognosis, treatment options, and genetic counseling markedly differ among different types, molecular characterization has utmost importance in GS [ 19 ]. [omicsonline.org]

In conclusion, clinical recognition of neurological manifestations in GS, supported by genetic testing, is important in establishing an accurate diagnosis that is relevant to treatment and prognosis. [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]

Etiology Mutations in in RAB27A (15q), which codes for a small GTPase(hemophagocytic syndrome) Mutations in MYO5A, which codes for an actin-based molecular motor (neurological involvement) The RAB27A and MYO5A gene products interact with each other and [humpath.com]

Etiology GS type 1 is caused by a mutation in the myosin Va (MYO5A) gene located on chromosome 15q21 and likely corresponds to Elejalde disease. GS type 2 is caused by mutations in the RAB27A encoding gene. [orpha.net]

The genetic mutation affects the transportation of melanosomes thus trapping them in the center of the melanocytes preventing the normal pigmentation of the eyes, hair and skin. [mybiosource.com]

As a result, these structures clump near the center of melanocytes, trapping melanin within these cells and preventing normal pigmentation of skin and hair. [ghr.nlm.nih.gov]
