  Abstract Neurologic features of oculocerebrorenal (Lowe) syndrome include mental retardation, hypotonia, and areflexia. [doi.org]

  Lowe oculocerebrorenal syndrome (OCRL) (MIM 309000) is a rare X-linked multisystem disorder characterized by congenital cataracts, muscular hypotonia, areflexia, mental retardation, maladaptive behavior, renal tubular dysfunction, vitamin-D-resistant [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Developmental delay, hypotonia, behavior abnormalities, and areflexia are also present. Renal tubular involvement is characterized by impaired reabsorption of bicarbonate, amino acids, and phosphate. [uniprot.org]

• Neonatal Hypotonia

  In addition to kidney dysfunction, children with LS have other impairments such as: • Intellectual disability; • Bone weakness (neonatal hypotonia); and • In male children, undescended testicles. [secure.ssa.gov]

  Symptoms and Signs Affected individuals have congenital cataracts, glaucoma, corneal leukomas, renal failure, curved growth in subsequent years, and neonatal hypotonia. Causes It is caused by a gene mutation and mostly occur in males. [medigest.uk]

  Nervous system : Neonatal hypotonia. Developmental delay, learning difficulties. Behavioural problems including aggresive outburst. Seizures in about 50% cases. [genetics4medics.com]

  Most affected children have weak muscle tone from birth (neonatal hypotonia), which can contribute to feeding difficulties, problems with breathing, and delayed development of motor skills such as sitting, standing, and walking. [medlineplus.gov]

  Children that are affected usually present with a weak muscle tone and the absence of reflexes since birth (also known as neonatal hypotonia and areflexia), which causes problems with feeding and breathing. [news-medical.net]

• Hyporeflexia

  Neurological features Hyporeflexia and hypotonia are usual features. 'Ragged red fibre' muscle pathology has been described. [patient.info]

  In the first year of life intense hypotonia and hyporeflexia are observed, which are generally the first neurological manifestations. Up to 50% of the patients may have seizures. [renaltube.com]

  Lowe reported the histories of three unrelated male infants (with photographs of two of them) who shared the distinctive characteristics of bilateral dense congenital cataracts, congenital glaucoma and “hydrophthalmos”, developmental retardation, hyporeflexia [flipper.diff.org]

• Delayed Bone Age

  Skeletal survey revealed bilateral neck femur fractures (figure 1), generalized osteoporosis, active rickets, delayed bone age (figure 2) and dorsolumber kyphosis (figure 3). There was no cervical spine instability was noted. [ispub.com]

• Glycosuria

  Glycosuria. Lowe noted the absence of glycosuria in his first three patients, even when blood glucose levels were increased to 150 mg/dl in two patients ( 1 ). [cjasn.asnjournals.org]

  P., a 2-month-old infant, was examined because of bilateral congenital cataracts and was also found to have bilateral glaucoma, albuminuria, and minimal glycosuria. From 6 to 12 months of age he received calcium lactate and sodium lacate therapy. [doi.org]

  In a series of patients with genetically proven LS, low-molecular-weight proteinuria, and albuminuria were the prominent findings, although none had glycosuria and only some had generalized aminoaciduria, tubular phosphate loss and rickets, hypercalciuria [sjkdt.org]

Management and treatment Treatment of OCRL includes early cataract extraction to avoid amblyopia, glaucoma control by either medications or surgery and postoperatively, eye glasses or contact lenses to improve visual function. [orpha.net]

Glaucoma diagnosis and treatment were more variable. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Areflexia is a peculiar state, which does not require treatment. Seizures require treatment with drugs specific for the symptoms. [doi.org]

Complications and Prognosis Prognosis is variable and early diagnosis is important to prevent life threatening complications due to renal pathology, hypotonia, or infection. [eyewiki.aao.org]

Use Additional Use Additional Help Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. [icd10data.com]

Etiology OCRL results from mutations in OCRL (Xq25), leading to phosphatidylinositol (4,5) bisphosphate accumulation. OCRL is involved in multiple intracellular processes including endocytic trafficking, actin skeleton dynamics and cell signaling. [orpha.net]

Osteopaenia and pathological fractures should be prevented by correct treatment of rickets. Standardised therapies (including the use of a corset and, if necessary, surgery) are required to prevent scoliosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Some mutations in the OCRL gene prevent the production of any OCRL enzyme. Other mutations reduce or eliminate the activity of the enzyme or prevent it from interacting with other proteins within the cell. [medlineplus.gov]
