    • Meningioma GARD
      Meningioma s are tumors that originate in the meninges , the membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord. Most meningiomas are not cancerous ( benign ), though a minority of meningiomas can be classified as atypical or cancerous ( malignant ). Though rare, malignant meningiomas can be highly aggressive. However, even benign meningiomas can cause problems if their growth affects neighboring areas of the brain. Though most meningiomas grow slowly, there is no way to predict the rate of growth for a particular meningioma or to know how long a specific meningioma was growing before it was diagnosed. Signs and symptoms can vary but may include seizures, headaches, weakness in the arms and legs, and vision loss.
    • Meningioma Orphanet
      A rare, mostly benign, neoplastic disease characterized by a primary tumor of the meninges, usually located intracranially (~90%) but spinal meningiomas occur as well. Clinical symptoms relate to the location of the tumor and may include seizures, focal neurological deficits (sensory-motor or visual symptoms, cranial nerve dysfunction), vascular complications (occlusion of cerebral blood vessels, deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism), chronically increased intracranial pressure neurocognitive impairment and/or loss of bladder/anus sphincter control. Epidemiology In adults, intracranial meningiomas represent approximately 30% of central nervous system tumors. The male to female ratio is 1:3.5. Clinical description Whilst meningioma may appear at any age, it is predominantly diagnosed between the third and sixth decade of life. Meningiomas typically appear as broad-based dural hemispheric or oval lesions, attached to the dura mater.
    • Meningioma Mayo Clinic
      Overview A meningioma is a tumor that arises from the meninges — the membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord. Although not technically a brain tumor, it is included in this category because it may compress or squeeze the adjacent brain, nerves and vessels. Meningioma is the most common type of tumor that forms in the head. Most meningiomas grow very slowly, often over many years without causing symptoms. But sometimes, their effects on nearby brain tissue, nerves or vessels may cause serious disability. Meningiomas occur more commonly in women and are often discovered at older ages, but they may occur at any age.
    • Meningioma, Radiation-Induced OMIM
      Following radiotherapy, secondary cancer may occur after a long latent period. Zattara-Cannoni et al. (2001) reported cytogenetic studies of 6 cases of radiation-induced meningiomas. Two of the cases occurred after radiation for tinea capitis, after an interval of 17 and 54 years, respectively; in the first of these cases, local recurrence occurred after an additional period of 29 years. Using spectral karyotyping (SKY) and comparative genomic hybridization (CGH), Zattara-Cannoni et al. (2001) found that all 6 cases had the same chromosome abnormality, t(1;22)(p11;q12). They suggested that a gene on chromosome 1p11 is involved in radiation-induced meningiomas.
  • Alcohol Myopia Wikipedia
    Alcohol myopia is a cognitive - physiological theory on alcohol abuse in which many of alcohol 's social and stress -reducing effects, which may underlie its addictive capacity, are explained as a consequence of alcohol's narrowing of perceptual and cognitive functioning. The alcohol myopia model [1] posits that rather than disinhibit, alcohol produces a myopia effect that causes users to pay more attention to salient environmental cues and less attention to less salient cues. ...

    • Noma Orphanet
      Noma is a gangrenous disease that causes severe destruction of the soft and osseous tissues of the face. Epidemiology Its exact prevalence is unknown. The disease was present in the Western world up until the start of the 20th century, but it now mainly affects children between 2 and 6 years of age living in the poorest regions of the world. Rare cases of noma have been described in adults with severe immunodeficiency (individuals with AIDS or myelopathy, or those being treated with immunosuppressants) in Africa and in the Western world. Clinical description In addition to the severe facial destruction, children with noma often present with rhinolalia aperta, uncontrollable drooling, and socially handicapping halitosis. The most debilitating sequela is permanent jaw constriction. Spontaneous resolution of the disease is associated with the formation of extremely dense and fibrous scars that may lead to osseous ankylosis between the mandible and maxilla or the mandible and the malar bone.

      Right-sided aortic arch Anterior-posterior chest radiograph showing a right-sided aortic arch Chest radiograph showing a right-sided aortic arch, lateral view Right-sided aortic arch is a rare anatomical variant in which the aortic arch is on the right side rather than on the left. During normal embryonic development , the aortic arch is formed by the left fourth aortic arch and the left dorsal aorta. In people with a right-sided aortic arch, instead the right dorsal aorta persists and the distal left aorta disappears. Contents 1 Symptoms 2 Pathophysiology 3 Diagnosis 3.1 Classification 4 Management 5 Epidemiology 6 See also 7 References 8 External links Symptoms [ edit ] A right-sided aortic arch does not cause symptoms on itself, and the overwhelming majority of people with the right-sided arch have no other symptoms. However when it is accompanied by other vascular abnormalities, it may form a vascular ring , causing symptoms due to compression of the trachea and/or esophagus . [1] Pathophysiology [ edit ] The causes of right-sided aortic arch are still unknown, 22q11 deletions have been found in some people with this condition. [2] It has also been found in association with other genetic syndromes such as Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome).

    • Congenital Disorder Of Deglycosylation OMIM
      A number sign (#) is used with this entry because congenital disorder of deglycosylation (CDDG) is caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous mutation in the NGLY1 gene (610661) on chromosome 3p24. Description Congenital disorder of deglycosylation is an autosomal recessive multisystem disorder characterized by global developmental delay, hypotonia, abnormal involuntary movements, and alacrima or poor tear production. Other common features include microcephaly, intractable seizures, abnormal eye movements, and evidence of liver dysfunction. Liver biopsy shows cytoplasmic accumulation of storage material in vacuoles (summary by Enns et al., 2014). For a discussion of the classification of congenital disorders of glycosylation, see CDG1A (212065).
    • Deficiency Of N-Glycanase 1 GARD
      Deficiency of N-glycanase 1 (NGLY1 deficiency) is a complex neurological syndrome in which there is a deficiency of an enzyme known as N-glycanase 1 (NGLY1). This enzyme normally helps the body remove proteins that are not functioning properly. The typical features of NGLY1 deficiency include abnormal tear production, a movement disorder (choreoathetosis), and liver disease. Additional features may include developmental delay, hypotonia (weak muscle tone), peripheral neuropathy , EEG abnormalities, and a small head size (microcephaly). The condition is caused by mutations in the N-glycanase 1 gene ( NGLY1 gene ) and is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner.
    • Ngly1-Congenital Disorder Of Deglycosylation MedlinePlus
      NGLY1 -congenital disorder of deglycosylation ( NGLY1 -CDDG) is an inherited condition that affects many parts of the body. The severity of the signs and symptoms varies widely among people with the condition. Individuals with NGLY1 -CDDG typically develop features of the condition during infancy. They often have delayed development of speech and motor skills, such as sitting and walking, and weak muscle tone (hypotonia). Many affected individuals have movement abnormalities, such as uncontrolled movements of the limbs (choreoathetosis), and some develop seizures that are difficult to treat.

      Summary Clinical characteristics. Hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy with agenesis of the corpus callosum (HMSN/ACC), a neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorder, is characterized by severe progressive sensorimotor neuropathy with resulting hypotonia, areflexia, and amyotrophy, and by variable degrees of dysgenesis of the corpus callosum. Mild-to-severe intellectual disability and "psychotic episodes" during adolescence are observed. Sensory modalities are moderately to severely affected beginning in infancy. The average age of onset of walking is 3.8 years; the average age of loss of walking is 13.8 years; the average age of death is 33 years. Diagnosis/testing. The diagnosis of HMSN/ACC is established in a proband with suggestive findings and biallelic pathogenic variants in SLC12A6 identified by molecular genetic testing.
    • Andermann Syndrome GARD
      Andermann syndrome (AS) is a disorder that damages the nerves used for muscle movement and sensation (motor and sensory neuropathy). Agenesis or malformation of the corpus callosum also occurs in most people with this disorder. Signs and symptoms of the disorder include areflexia ; hypotonia; amyotrophy ; severe progressive weakness and loss of sensation in the limbs; and tremors . Affected individuals typically begin walking late and lose this ability by their teenage years. Other features may include intellectual disability, seizures, contractures, scoliosis, various psychiatric symptoms, various atypical physical features, and cranial nerve problems that cause facial muscle weakness, ptosis, and difficulty following movements with the eyes (gaze palsy).

      Andermann syndrome is a disorder that damages the nerves used for muscle movement and sensation (motor and sensory neuropathy). Absence (agenesis) or malformation of the tissue connecting the left and right halves of the brain (corpus callosum ) also occurs in most people with this disorder. People affected by Andermann syndrome have abnormal or absent reflexes (areflexia) and weak muscle tone (hypotonia). They experience muscle wasting (amyotrophy), severe progressive weakness and loss of sensation in the limbs, and rhythmic shaking (tremors). They typically begin walking between ages 3 and 4 and lose this ability by their teenage years.
  • Myotonic Dystrophy Wikipedia
    Erythromycin has been used successfully in patients with gastric issues. [21] Altered splicing of the muscle-specific chloride channel 1 (ClC-1) has been shown to cause the myotonic phenotype of DM1 and is reversible in mouse models using Morpholino antisense to modify splicing of ClC-1 mRNA . [22] Physical activity [ edit ] There is a lack of high-quality evidence to determine the effectiveness and the safety of physical activities for people who have myotonic dystrophy. [23] Further research is required to determine if combined strength and aerobic training at moderate intensity is safe for people who have neuromuscular diseases, however the combination of aerobic and strength exercises may increase muscle strength. [24] [23] Aerobic exercise via stationary bicycle with an ergometer may be safe and effective in improving fitness in people with DM1. [25] Cardiovascular impairments and myotonic sensitivities to exercise and temperature necessitate close monitoring of people and educating people in self-monitoring during exercise via the Borg scale , heart rate monitors , and other physical exertion measurements. [26] Orthotics [ edit ] Muscular weakness of dorsiflexors ( dorsiflexion ) hinders the ability to clear the floor during the swing phase of gait and people may adopt a steppage gait pattern [26] or ankle-foot- orthotics may be indicated.

    • Werner Syndrome GeneReviews
      Summary Clinical characteristics. Werner syndrome is characterized by the premature appearance of features associated with normal aging and cancer predisposition. Individuals with Werner syndrome develop normally until the end of the first decade. The first sign is the lack of a growth spurt during the early teen years. Early findings (usually observed in the 20s) include loss and graying of hair, hoarseness, and scleroderma-like skin changes, followed by bilateral ocular cataracts, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypogonadism, skin ulcers, and osteoporosis in the 30s. Myocardial infarction and cancer are the most common causes of death; the mean age of death in individuals with Werner syndrome is 54 years.

    • Werner Syndrome Orphanet
      Werner syndrome (WS) is a rare inherited syndrome characterized by premature aging with onset in the third decade of life and with cardinal clinical features including bilateral cataracts, short stature, graying and thinning of scalp hair, characteristic skin disorders and premature onset of additional age-related disorders. Epidemiology The prevalence among Japanese and Sardinian populations is estimated to be 1/50,000 due to the presence of founder mutations. Prevalence in other populations is unknown, but may be around 1/200,000. Clinical description WS patients are normal at birth and during childhood, apart from the absence of a pubertal growth spurt. WS presents between the ages of 20 and 30 with major symptoms of early onset bilateral cataracts, thinning and graying of the hair, short stature and skin changes (ankle ulceration, hyperkeratosis, tight skin, age spots, ''bird-like'' facies and subcutaneous atrophy).
    • Werner Syndrome MedlinePlus
      Werner syndrome is characterized by the dramatic, rapid appearance of features associated with normal aging. Individuals with this disorder typically grow and develop normally until they reach puberty. Affected teenagers usually do not have a growth spurt, resulting in short stature. The characteristic aged appearance of individuals with Werner syndrome typically begins to develop when they are in their twenties and includes graying and loss of hair; a hoarse voice; and thin, hardened skin. They may also have a facial appearance described as "bird-like." Many people with Werner syndrome have thin arms and legs and a thick trunk due to abnormal fat deposition.
    • Werner Syndrome GARD
      Werner syndrome is a condition that causes premature aging. People with this syndrome will develop and grow normally until puberty. At puberty, growth stops and adults with Werner syndrome are typically shorter than average. By the early 20s-30s, people with this syndrome develop conditions usually associated with more advanced ages. In addition, people with Werner syndrome have an increased risk of developing cancer, especially thyroid and skin cancers. Heart attack and cancer are the most common causes of death. Werner syndrome is caused by mutations in the WRN gene and is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner.

      A number sign (#) is used with this entry because orthostatic hypotension-1 (ORTHYP1) due to congenital dopamine beta-hydroxylase deficiency is caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous mutation in the DBH gene (609312) on chromosome 9q34. Genetic Heterogeneity of Orthostatic Hypotension See also ORTHYP2 (618182), caused by mutation in the CYB561 gene (600019) on chromosome 17q11. Clinical Features Robertson et al. (1986) reported a 33-year-old woman of Scottish-Irish descent with isolated failure of autonomic noradrenergic neurotransmission caused by a defect in the beta-hydroxylation of dopamine in peripheral nerves. Clinical features included orthostatic hypotension, ptosis, nasal stuffiness, and a neonatal history of delayed eye opening. From age 2 years, she had had episodes of syncope, especially after exercise, and marked ptosis.
    • Dopamine Beta Hydroxylase Deficiency GARD
      Dopamine beta hydroxylase deficiency is a disease which affects the body’s ability to regulate blood pressure and body temperature. Symptoms typically begin in late childhood and include vomiting, dehydration, low blood pressure, especially upon standing ( orthostatic hypotension ), and low blood sugar levels ( hypoglycemia ). Low blood pressure can also cause dizziness, blurred vision, and difficulty exercising. Other symptoms may include drooping eyelids (ptosis), nasal congestion, muscle pain, and weakness. Dopamine beta hydroxylase deficiency is caused by mutation in the DBH gene and is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner.
    • Dopamine Beta-Hydroxylase Deficiency GeneReviews
      Summary Clinical characteristics. Dopamine beta-hydroxylase (DBH) deficiency is characterized by lack of sympathetic noradrenergic function but normal parasympathetic and sympathetic cholinergic function. Affected individuals exhibit profound deficits in autonomic regulation of cardiovascular function that predispose to orthostatic hypotension. Although DBH deficiency appears to be present from birth, the diagnosis is not generally recognized until late childhood. The combination of ptosis of the eyelids in infants and children, together with hypotension, is suggestive of the disease. In the perinatal period, DBH deficiency has been complicated by vomiting, dehydration, hypotension, hypothermia, and hypoglycemia requiring repeated hospitalization; children have reduced exercise capacity.
    • Dopamine Beta-Hydroxylase Deficiency MedlinePlus
      Dopamine beta (β)-hydroxylase deficiency is a condition that affects the autonomic nervous system, which controls involuntary body processes such as the regulation of blood pressure and body temperature. Problems related to this disorder can first appear during infancy. Early signs and symptoms may include episodes of vomiting, dehydration, decreased blood pressure (hypotension), difficulty maintaining body temperature, and low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Individuals with dopamine β-hydroxylase deficiency typically experience a sharp drop in blood pressure upon standing (orthostatic hypotension), which can cause dizziness, blurred vision, or fainting. This sudden drop in blood pressure is usually more severe when getting out of bed in the morning, during hot weather, and as a person gets older. People with dopamine β-hydroxylase deficiency experience extreme fatigue during exercise (exercise intolerance) due to their problems maintaining a normal blood pressure.

    • Autosomal Erythropoietic Protoporphyria GARD
      Erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) is a type of porphyria . Porphyrias are caused by an abnormality in the heme production process. Heme is essential in enabling our blood cells to carry oxygen and in breaking down chemical compounds in the liver. Erythropoietic protoporphyria is caused by pathogenic variants (mutations) in the FECH gene which lead to an impaired activity of ferrocheletase (FECH), an important enzyme in heme production. This results in the build-up of protoporphyrin in the bone marrow, red blood cells, blood plasma, skin, and eventually liver. Build up of protoporphyrin can cause extreme sensitivity to sunlight, liver damage, abdominal pain, gallstones, and enlargement of the spleen.

PMM2-CDG ( CDG-Ia ) (previously known as congenital disorder of glycosylation type 1a), the most common of a group of disorders of abnormal glycosylation of N-linked oligosaccharides, is divided into three types: infantile multisystem, late-infantile and childhood ataxia-intellectual disability, and adult stable disability. The three types notwithstanding, clinical presentation and course are highly variable, ranging from infants who die in the first year of life to mildly involved adults. Clinical presentations tend to be similar in sibs. In the infantile multisystem type, infants show axial hypotonia, hyporeflexia, esotropia, and developmental delay.
