SEVERE INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY-EPILEPSY-CATARACT SYNDROME DUE TO FATTY ACYL-COA REDUCTASE 1 DEFICIENCY

Alternate names

SEVERE INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY-EPILEPSY-CATARACT SYNDROME DUE TO FATTY ACYL-COA REDUCTASE 1 DEFICIENCY Is also known as severe intellectual disability-epilepsy-cataract syndrome due to peroxisomal disorder, severe intellectual disability-epilepsy-cataract syndrome due to far1 deficiency

Description

Peroxisomal fatty acyl-CoA reductase-1 disorder is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by onset in infancy of severely delayed psychomotor development, growth retardation with microcephaly, and seizures. Some patients may have congenital cataracts and develop spasticity later in childhood. Biochemical studies tend to show decreased plasmalogen, consistent with a peroxisomal defect. The disorder is reminiscent of rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata (see, e.g., RCDP1, {215100}), although the characteristic skeletal abnormalities observed in RCDP are absent (Buchert et al., 2014).

Most common symptoms of SEVERE INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY-EPILEPSY-CATARACT SYNDROME DUE TO FATTY ACYL-COA REDUCTASE 1 DEFICIENCY

  • Intellectual disability
  • Seizures
  • Global developmental delay
  • Short stature
  • Generalized hypotonia
