Recurrent respiratory infections occur occasionally. Respiratory distress due to muscle weakness, obstructive sleep apnea, tracheomalacia, and abnormal breathing has also been reported. Skeletal. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Primary symptoms of the disease are developmental delay, progressive intellectual disability, hypotonia (low muscle tone), spasticity (stiffness of the limbs) possibly leading to quadriplegia, and progressive dementia. [en.wikipedia.org]

The first patient developed intractable diarrhea, profound weakness, respiratory distress, and died at 3 months. The other two unrelated patients had a much milder phenotype and are still alive at ages 27 and 36 months. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The feeding difficulties, recurrent vomiting, and gastroesophageal reflux disease can lead or contribute to failure to thrive in affected infants. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A high-density single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array analysis revealed that the first patient had a region of copy-neutral absence of heterozygosity (AOH) consistent with segmental isodisomy for an 11.3 Mb region at the long-arm terminus of chromosome [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Hepatocerebral forms present with early-onset liver dysfunction and neurologic involvement, including developmental delay, abnormal eye movements, and peripheral neuropathy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Hyperhidrosis and neonatal hypoglycemia have occasionally been reported. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Primary symptoms of the disease are developmental delay, progressive intellectual disability, hypotonia (low muscle tone), spasticity (stiffness of the limbs) possibly leading to quadriplegia, and progressive dementia. [en.wikipedia.org]
