The article by McManus et al1 also expands our knowledge on phenotypic presentations of Perry syndrome. Recurrent syncopes have not been previously associated with this condition. [nzma.org.nz]

Weight should be monitored and a high caloric diet should be implemented when weight loss is present. With worsening symptoms hospitalization and major medical assistance is often required. [orpha.net]

The cardinal signs of Perry syndrome were present in all three probands with symptomatic disease onset in their sixth decade of life. Parkinsonian signs were mild to moderate with a poor response to dopaminergic treatment. [neurology.org]

In the seven families reported previously and the two new families presented herein (the Hawaii family and the Fukuoka-4 Japanese family), the mean disease onset age is 48 years (range: 35-61) and the mean disease duration five years (range: 2-10). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Weight Loss

  The early signs include parkinsonism, depression and weight loss, whereas hypoventilation is a late feature. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Weight should be monitored and a high caloric diet should be implemented when weight loss is present. With worsening symptoms hospitalization and major medical assistance is often required. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

  Many affected individuals also experience significant, unexplained weight loss early in the disease. Hypoventilation is a later feature of Perry syndrome. [medlineplus.gov]

• Wheelchair Bound

  Patients are often bedridden or wheelchair bound as motor impairment may be severe at a later stage of the disease. [orpha.net]

• Respiratory Insufficiency

  A diaphragmatic pacemaker was implanted in the proband from the Colombian family to treat her respiratory insufficiency. Dopaminergic therapy was initiated in probands from two families. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  All affected family relatives including the probands from the New Zealand and US families died of respiratory insufficiency. [neurology.org]

• Short Arm

  This process is due to mutations in the gene DCTN1 (dynactin subunit 1), located on the short arm of chromosome 2 (2p13). This gene encodes dynactin-1 protein. P150 and P135: cells in at least two different versions of this protein are produced. [ivami.com]

Management and treatment There is no cure for Perry syndrome. Symptomatic treatment requires a multidisciplinary team. Dopaminergic therapy is given to patients to help with parkinsonism, usually using levodopa / carbidopa. [orpha.net]

Prognosis Perry syndrome progresses rapidly and the prognosis is poor. Death is due to respiratory insufficiency or suicide or, in some cases, can be sudden and unexplained. [orpha.net]

Treatment and prognosis Management of Perry syndrome is symptomatic, such as trialing levodopa therapy for parkinsonism, and managing respiratory symptoms with non-invasive ventilation or diaphragmatic pacemaker insertion 2,7. [radiopaedia.org]

What is the prognosis for Parry-Romberg syndrome? The prognosis for individuals with Parry-Romberg syndrome varies. In some cases, the atrophy ends before the entire face is affected. [medicinenet.com]

Etiology Perry syndrome is caused by mutations (five identified to date) in exon 2 of the dynactin DCTN1 gene coding for p150glued, the major subunit of the dynactin protein complex. [orpha.net]
