CONGENITAL CATARACT-PROGRESSIVE MUSCULAR HYPOTONIA-HEARING LOSS-DEVELOPMENTAL DELAY SYNDROME

Alternate names

CONGENITAL CATARACT-PROGRESSIVE MUSCULAR HYPOTONIA-HEARING LOSS-DEVELOPMENTAL DELAY SYNDROME Is also known as myopathy with cataract and combined respiratory chain deficiency, mitochondrial complex deficiency, combined, congenital cataract-progressive muscular hypotonia-deafness-developmental delay syndrome

Description

Congenital cataract-progressive muscular hypotonia-hearing loss-developmental delay syndrome is a rare, genetic, mitochondrial myopathy disorder characterized by congenital cataract, progressive muscular hypotonia that particularly affects the lower limbs, reduced deep tendon reflexes, sensorineural hearing loss, global development delay and lactic acidosis. Muscle biopsy reveals reduced complex I, II and IV respiratory chain activity.

Most common symptoms of CONGENITAL CATARACT-PROGRESSIVE MUSCULAR HYPOTONIA-HEARING LOSS-DEVELOPMENTAL DELAY SYNDROME

  • Global developmental delay
  • Generalized hypotonia
  • Hearing impairment
  • Nystagmus
  • Sensorineural hearing impairment
