  • Down syndrome

    Each person with Down syndrome is an individual — intellectual and developmental problems may be mild, moderate or severe. Some people are healthy while others have significant health problems such as serious heart defects. Children and adults with Down syndrome have distinct facial features. Though not all people with Down syndrome have the same features, some of the more common features include: Flattened face  Read More

  • Faciodigitogenital syndrome

    Since there is currently no permanent treatment for Facio Digito Genital syndrome, care is offered to enhance quality of life. A specialized team of healthcare professionals is needed to give a synchronized treatment for the patient's distinctive anomalies and associated symptoms: 1. Therapy of strabismus is used for disorders where the eyes are positioned erratically, impairing vision. In order to restore normal v  Read More

  • Hutchinson-gilford progeria syndrome (hgps)

    Progeria, or Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS), is a rare, fatal, genetic condition of childhood with striking features resembling premature aging. Children with progeria usually have a normal appearance in early infancy. At approximately nine to 24 months of age, affected children begin to experience profound growth delays, resulting in short stature and low weight. They also develop a distinctive facial appearance characterized by  Read More

  • Infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis

    Infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis is a rare and fatal genetic condition that causes the death of neurons in the brain and spinal cord. It is characterized by a buildup of lipopigments, which are fats that accumulate in the cells of affected individuals. The accumulation of lipopigments causes the cells to malfunction and eventually die. The first signs of infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis appear at a  Read More

  • Juvenile retinoschisis

    X-linked juvenile retinoschisis (RS) is a genetic disorder affecting males. Major symptoms include poor eyesight and degeneration of the retina. The retina consists of membrane layers in the eye that receive visual images. It is composed of supportive and protective structures, nervous system components and layers including "rods" and "cones." RS is due to splitting of the retina, which, in turn, causes slow, progressive loss of parts of the f  Read More

  • Kawasaki's disease

    Kawasaki's disease facts Kawasaki's disease is a syndrome of unknown cause that mainly strikes young children. Signs of the disease include fever and redness of the eyes, hands, feet, mouth, and tongue. The disease can be treated with high doses of aspirin (salicylic acid) and gammaglobulin. Kawasaki's disease usually resolves on its own within a month or two. Some children with Kawasaki's  Read More

  • Kramer syndrome

    Oculocerebral Syndrome with Hypopigmentation is an extremely rare inherited disorder characterized by the lack of normal color (hypopigmentation) of the skin and hair and abnormalities of the central nervous system that affect the eyes and certain parts of the brain (oculocerebral). Physical findings at birth include unusually light skin color and silvery-gray hair. Abnormal findings associated with the central nervous system may include abnor  Read More

  • Marcus gunn (jaw-winking) syndrome

    Marcus gunn (jaw-winking) syndrome is one of the congenital cranial dysinnervation disorders (CCDD) and those with this condition show varying degrees of blepharoptosis in the primary, resting position. It is connected to synkinetic movements of the upper eyelid that occur while the jaw is being masticated. 1. Congenital blepharoptosis is associated with Marcus Gunn jaw-winking syndrome (MGJWS). Dr. Robert Marcus  Read More

  • Marinesco-sjogren syndrome-myopathy

    Marinesco-Sjogren syndrome (MSS) is a rare genetic disorder that affects multiple organ systems of the body. Common symptoms include difficulty coordinating voluntary movements due to degeneration (atrophy) of the cerebellum (cerebellar ataxia), clouding of the lenses of the eyes (cataracts), delays in the acquisition of skills requiring the coordination of muscular and mental activity (psychomotor development), diminished muscle tone (hypoton  Read More

Weak movement in the elbow is Cures/medications for Nager Acro  Read More

  • Norrie syndrome

    Norrie syndrome is an intrinsically genetic condition of eyesight, but it may also occur by unfortunate chance. It results in absolute blindness (only males) shortly after birth, if not instantly at birth. Immature retina cells accumulate at the back of the eyes with further unusual development of the retina, defected sensory cells that help in detecting color and light. It affects the vascular maturity of the ret  Read More

  • Russell silver syndrome (rss)

    Russell-Silver Syndrome is a genetic condition, classified under growth disorders that slow down and restrict development at the expected rate. It is prominent before and after birth. Babies born with this condition will weigh significantly less than healthy babies, and often fail to mature physically. In other words, they fail to thrive. Disproportionate head in relation to the rest of the body, low birth rate, as  Read More

  • Tyrosinemia, hereditary

    Tyrosinemia type I is a rare autosomal recessive genetic metabolic disorder characterized by lack of the enzyme fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH), which is needed for the final break down of the amino acid tyrosine. Failure to properly break down tyrosine leads to abnormal accumulation of tyrosine and its metabolites in the liver, potentially resulting in severe liver disease. Tyrosine may also accumulate in the kidneys and central nervous s  Read More
