LEBER CONGENITAL AMAUROSIS

Alternate names

LEBER CONGENITAL AMAUROSIS Is also known as crb, amaurosis congenita of leber i, lca, amaurosis congenita of leber, retinal blindness, congenital

Description

Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) is a retinal dystrophy defined by blindness and responses to electrophysiological stimulation (Ganzfeld electroretinogram (ERG)) below threshold, associated with severe visual impairment within the first year of life.

Most common symptoms of LEBER CONGENITAL AMAUROSIS

  • Intellectual disability
  • Seizures
  • Global developmental delay
  • Hearing impairment

Description

Klippel-Feil Syndrome is characterised by improper segmentation of cervical segments resulting in congenitally fused cervical vertebrae.

KLIPPEL-FEIL SYNDROME 1, AUTOSOMAL DOMINANT; KFS1

Alternate names

KLIPPEL-FEIL SYNDROME 1, AUTOSOMAL DOMINANT; KFS1 Is also known as cervical vertebral fusion, autosomal dominant, kfs

Description

Klippel-Feil syndrome (KFS) is a congenital anomaly characterized by a defect in the formation or segmentation of the cervical vertebrae, resulting in a fused appearance. The clinical triad consists of short neck, low posterior hairline, and limited neck movement, although less than 50% of patients demonstrate all 3 clinical features (Tracy et al., 2004). Genetic Heterogeneity of Klippel-Feil SyndromeAdditional forms of KFS include autosomal recessive KFS2 (OMIM ), caused by mutation in the MEOX1 gene (OMIM ) on chromosome 17q21, autosomal dominant KFS3 (OMIM ), caused by mutation in the GDF3 gene (OMIM ) on chromosome 12p13, and autosomal recessive KFS4 (OMIM ), caused by mutation in the MYO18B gene (OMIM ) on chromosome 22q12.See also MURCS association (OMIM ), in which Klippel-Feil anomaly is associated with urogenital anomalies.

Most common symptoms of KLIPPEL-FEIL SYNDROME 1, AUTOSOMAL DOMINANT; KFS1

  • Hearing impairment
  • Scoliosis
  • Sensorineural hearing impairment
