Entire Body System
- Weakness
Overview CMT is an inherited neurological disease characterized by the gradual degeneration of nerves which starts in the hands and feet and results in progressive numbness, muscle weakness and loss of function. [checkorphan.org]
Weakness in the muscles of the trunk and a progressive abnormal curvature of the spine ( scoliosis ) further impair walking in some individuals. [ghr.nlm.nih.gov]
Clinical description Progressive weakness of the muscles in the lower limbs was also reported. Etiology The progressive neurological degeneration is caused by hypomyelination of the central and peripheral nervous systems. [orpha.net]
Hypomyelination and congenital cataract is caused by a change ( mutation ) in the FAM126A gene and is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. [1] [2] [3] Diagnosis of hypomyelination and congenital cataract is based on clinical findings of muscle weakness [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]
Affected individuals experience progressive pyramidal and cerebellar dysfunction, muscle weakness and wasting prevailingly in the lower limbs. Mental deficiency ranges from mild to moderate. [genecards.org]
- Developmental Delay
RESULTS: The clinical picture was characterized by bilateral congenital cataract, developmental delay, and slowly progressive neurological impairment with spasticity, cerebellar ataxia, and mild-to-moderate mental retardation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Psychomotor developmental delay was evident after the first year of life. All cases achieved the ability of walking with support only, and they lost this ability with time. Neurological examination showed pyramidal and cerebellar signs. [thieme-connect.com]
- Asymptomatic
Heterozygotes (carriers) are asymptomatic and are not at risk of developing the disorder. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Gastrointestinal
- Failure to Thrive
Other possible symptoms are reduced tear and saliva production, anhidrosis, and severe failure to thrive, in addition to the classic syndromes of WS4. [clinicalgate.com]
- Vomiting
Bulbar features, such as intractable vomiting, swallowing difficulties, and respiratory compromise, can be present early on or only develop over time. [clinicalgate.com]
Musculoskeletal
- Muscle Weakness
Symptoms - Congenital hypomyelination neuropathy Major symptoms may include respiratory difficulty, muscle weakness and incoordination, poor muscle tone (neonatal hypotonia), absence of reflexes (areflexia), difficulty in walking (ataxia), and/or impaired [checkorphan.org]
weakness and cataracts, and a brain MRI that indicates a loss of the myelin surrounding the neurons. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]
Weakness in the muscles of the trunk and a progressive abnormal curvature of the spine ( scoliosis ) further impair walking in some individuals. [ghr.nlm.nih.gov]
Affected individuals experience progressive pyramidal and cerebellar dysfunction, muscle weakness and wasting prevailingly in the lower limbs. Mental deficiency ranges from mild to moderate. [genecards.org]
Pyramidal and cerebellar dysfunction, muscle weakness and wasting, dysarthria, truncal hypotonia, intention tremor, and spasticity are evident during the first decade. Some have seizures. Cognitive impairment ranges from mild to moderate. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
Neurologic
- Peripheral Neuropathy
All patients show bilateral congenital cataract and progressive neurological impairment with peripheral neuropathy. The clinical phenotype is consistent with the severe form of HCC. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Most people with hypomyelination and congenital cataract have reduced sensation in their arms and legs (peripheral neuropathy). [ghr.nlm.nih.gov]
Signs and symptoms may vary but can include loss of sensation in the hands and feet ( peripheral neuropathy ), curvature of the spine ( scoliosis ), difficulty speaking ( dysarthria ), seizures, and moderate intellectual disability. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]
- Dysarthria
Signs and symptoms may vary but can include loss of sensation in the hands and feet ( peripheral neuropathy ), curvature of the spine ( scoliosis ), difficulty speaking ( dysarthria ), seizures, and moderate intellectual disability. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]
In addition, affected individuals typically have speech difficulties (dysarthria) and mild to moderate intellectual disability. The prevalence of hypomyelination and congenital cataract is unknown. [ghr.nlm.nih.gov]
Clinical examination reveals the following from the onset of the disease course: Dysarthria Truncal hypotonia Pyramidal signs and spasticity. Tendon reflexes may be decreased or lost as a result of peripheral neuropathy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Pyramidal and cerebellar dysfunction, muscle weakness and wasting, dysarthria, truncal hypotonia, intention tremor, and spasticity are evident during the first decade. Some have seizures. Cognitive impairment ranges from mild to moderate. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
Initial clinical manifestations include gait disturbance, ataxia, dysarthria, or cranial nerve features such as esotropia. [clinicalgate.com]
- Cerebellar Sign
Neurological examination showed pyramidal and cerebellar signs. Mental retardation ranged from mild to moderate. Peripheral neuropathy was demonstrated by neurophysiological studies in 9/10. [thieme-connect.com]
Clinical findings are non-specific but patients often present with developmental delay, cerebellar signs or spasticity. Some disorders have additional clinical findings. [radiopaedia.org]
Cerebellar signs/ataxia (including truncal titubation and intention tremor) Peripheral neuropathy, present in most individuals, manifest as muscle weakness, wasting of the legs and ataxia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Neurological examination reveals dysarthria, moderate to severe spasticity with elevated muscle tone, brisk reflexes, extensor plantar response, and cerebellar signs such as intention tremor and dysmetria. Nystagmus is rare. [clinicalgate.com]

Babies with birth defects often need special care and treatments. The treatments may include surgery, medicines, assistive devices, and therapies. [icdlist.com]
Treatment is focused on relieving symptoms of the condition and may include physical therapy, special education, and medication to treat seizures. [1] Last updated: 11/23/2016 [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]
Treatment Treatment Options: The cataracts may be surgically removed. There is no known treatment for the progressive neurologic deterioration but physical therapy and special education may be helpful. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
Prognosis
Prognosis - Congenital hypomyelination neuropathy Not supplied. Treatment - Congenital hypomyelination neuropathy Not supplied. Resources - Congenital hypomyelination neuropathy Not supplied. [checkorphan.org]
Prognosis The recent recognition of CCFDN as a novel disease entity, and the lack of prospective follow-up does not allow an evidence-based prognosis regarding life expectancy. [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]
The prognosis for survival is good. The cerebral white matter may be diffusely hyperintense on T2-weighted imaging, but patches of hyperintensity are frequently present. [plaza.umin.ac.jp]
R239, in particular, is associated with earlier onset and poor prognosis. AxD presents with two predominant clinical phenotypes. The infantile form typically presents before the second year of life. [clinicalgate.com]
Etiology
Etiology The progressive neurological degeneration is caused by hypomyelination of the central and peripheral nervous systems. [orpha.net]
Etiology They can be etiologically subcategorised into those with and without typical peripheral nervous system involvement (usually based on nerve conduction studies): with typical peripheral nervous system involvement hypomyelination with congenital [radiopaedia.org]
Amino-acidopathies and organic acidopathies Defects of myelin proteins Unknown etiology Canavan disease Pelizaeus Merzbacher syndrome Alxander disease Glutaric aciduria 18 q syndrome Van Der Knapp encephalopathy Urea cycle disorders 13. [slideshare.net]
Studies have shown that a specific diagnosis remains undetermined in as many as 50% of children with a leukoencephalopathy. 1 However, genetic research has greatly contributed to the understanding of the etiologic background of several white matter disorders [ajnr.org]
Epidemiology
Summary Epidemiology The syndrome has been described in 10 children from five different families. Clinical description Progressive weakness of the muscles in the lower limbs was also reported. [orpha.net]

Pathophysiology
The pathophysiology of XALD is believed to arise from accumulation of saturated very long chain fatty acids (SVLCFA) within the brain. [clinicalgate.com]
Prevention
Early detection and treatment could prevent vision loss. See an eye care professional right away if you have a sudden change in vision, if everything looks dim, or if you see flashes of light. [icdlist.com]
Prevention - Congenital hypomyelination neuropathy Not supplied. Diagnosis - Congenital hypomyelination neuropathy signs and symptoms of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, Type 4E may vary on an individual basis for each patient. [checkorphan.org]
Most FAM126A gene mutations that cause hypomyelination and congenital cataract prevent the production of hyccin. People who cannot produce any hyccin have problems forming myelin, leading to the signs and symptoms of this condition. [ghr.nlm.nih.gov]
Patching to force the child to use the weaker eye is often needed to prevent amblyopia. The infant may also need to be treated for the inherited disorder that is causing the cataracts. [medlineplus.gov]
