HYPOMYELINATION-HYPOGONADOTROPIC HYPOGONADISM-HYPODONTIA SYNDROME

Alternate names

HYPOMYELINATION-HYPOGONADOTROPIC HYPOGONADISM-HYPODONTIA SYNDROME Is also known as 4h syndrome

Description

Hypomyelination-hypogonadotropic hypogonadism-hypodontia syndrome is characterised by the association of demyelinating leukodystrophy with progressive cerebellar ataxia, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and hypodontia.

Most common symptoms of HYPOMYELINATION-HYPOGONADOTROPIC HYPOGONADISM-HYPODONTIA SYNDROME

  • Ataxia
  • Hypodontia
  • Hypergonadotropic hypogonadism
  • CNS hypomyelination

LEUKODYSTROPHY, HYPOMYELINATING, 8, WITH OR WITHOUT OLIGODONTIA AND/OR HYPOGONADOTROPIC HYPOGONADISM; HLD8

Description

Hypomyelinating leukodystrophy-8 is an autosomal recessive neurologic disorder characterized by early childhood onset of cerebellar ataxia and mild intellectual disabilities associated with diffuse hypomyelination apparent on brain MRI. Variable features include oligodontia and/or hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (summary by Tetreault et al., 2011).See also HLD7 (OMIM ), which has similar features and is caused by mutation in the POLR3A gene (OMIM ) on chromosome 10q22. The POLR3A and POLR3B genes encode the 2 largest subunits of RNA polymerase III.For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of hypomyelinating leukodystrophy, see {312080}.

Most common symptoms of LEUKODYSTROPHY, HYPOMYELINATING, 8, WITH OR WITHOUT OLIGODONTIA AND/OR HYPOGONADOTROPIC HYPOGONADISM; HLD8

  • Intellectual disability
  • Short stature
  • Generalized hypotonia
  • Ataxia
  • Nystagmus

GILLES DE LA TOURETTE SYNDROME; GTS

Alternate names

GILLES DE LA TOURETTE SYNDROME; GTS Is also known as ts, tourette syndrome, tourette disorder

Description

Tourette syndrome is a neurobehavioral disorder manifest particularly by motor and vocal tics and associated with behavioral abnormalities. Tics are sudden, brief, intermittent, involuntary or semi-voluntary movements (motor tics) or sounds (phonic or vocal tics). They typically consist of simple, coordinated, repetitive movements, gestures, or utterances that mimic fragments of normal behavior. Motor tics may range from simple blinking, nose twitching, and head jerking to more complex throwing, hitting, or making rude gestures. Phonic tics include sniffling, throat clearing, blowing, coughing, echolalia, or coprolalia. Males are affected about 3 times more often than females, and onset usually occurs between 3 and 8 years of age. By age 18 years, more than half of affected individuals are free of tics, but they may persist into adulthood (review by Jankovic, 2001).

Most common symptoms of GILLES DE LA TOURETTE SYNDROME; GTS

  • Behavioral abnormality
  • Depressivity
  • Pectus excavatum
  • Myoclonus
  • Hyperactivity

ENDOSTEAL SCLEROSIS-CEREBELLAR HYPOPLASIA SYNDROME

Description

Endosteal sclerosis-cerebellar hypoplasia syndrome is characterized by congenital cerebellar hypoplasia, endosteal sclerosis, hypotonia, ataxia, mild to moderate developmental delay, short stature, hip dislocation, and tooth eruption disturbances. It has been described in four patients. Less common manifestations are microcephaly, strabismus, nystagmus, optic atrophy, and dysarthria. It is appears to be transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait.

Most common symptoms of ENDOSTEAL SCLEROSIS-CEREBELLAR HYPOPLASIA SYNDROME

  • Global developmental delay
  • Short stature
  • Generalized hypotonia
  • Microcephaly
  • Ataxia
