Corneal-cerebellar syndrome

MedGen UID:
341379
Concept ID:
C1849087
Disease or Syndrome
Synonyms: CORNEAL DYSTROPHY WITH SPINOCEREBELLAR DEGENERATION; Der kaloustian Jarudi Khoury syndrome; Spinocerebellar degeneration and corneal dystrophy; Spinocerebellar degeneration corneal dystrophy
SNOMED CT: Corneal cerebellar syndrome (720750004); Der Kaloustian Jarudi Khoury syndrome (720750004); Spinocerebellar degeneration and corneal dystrophy syndrome (720750004)
Modes of inheritance:
Autosomal recessive inheritance
MedGen UID:
141025
Concept ID:
C0441748
Intellectual Product
Source: Orphanet
A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in individuals with two pathogenic alleles, either homozygotes (two copies of the same mutant allele) or compound heterozygotes (whereby each copy of a gene has a distinct mutant allele).

Definition

Syndrome with the unusual combination of spinocerebellar degeneration and corneal dystrophy. Three sisters born to normal consanguineous parents have been reported, one of who had only minor spinocerebellar signs without ocular involvement. This autosomal recessive syndrome differs from the Mousa-Al-Din-Al-Nassar syndrome by the subnormal intellectual development and the epithelial (versus stromal) nature of the corneal dystrophy. [from SNOMEDCT_US]

Clinical features

From HPO
Cerebellar ataxia
MedGen UID:
849
Concept ID:
C0007758
Disease or Syndrome
Cerebellar ataxia refers to ataxia due to dysfunction of the cerebellum. This causes a variety of elementary neurological deficits including asynergy (lack of coordination between muscles, limbs and joints), dysmetria (lack of ability to judge distances that can lead to under- or overshoot in grasping movements), and dysdiadochokinesia (inability to perform rapid movements requiring antagonizing muscle groups to be switched on and off repeatedly).
Spinocerebellar tract degeneration
MedGen UID:
401075
Concept ID:
C1866751
Disease or Syndrome
Intellectual disability
MedGen UID:
811461
Concept ID:
C3714756
Mental or Behavioral Dysfunction
Intellectual disability, previously referred to as mental retardation, is characterized by subnormal intellectual functioning that occurs during the developmental period. It is defined by an IQ score below 70.
Corneal dystrophy
MedGen UID:
3619
Concept ID:
C0010036
Disease or Syndrome
The term corneal dystrophy embraces a heterogenous group of bilateral genetically determined non-inflammatory corneal diseases that are restricted to the cornea.
Opacification of the corneal stroma
MedGen UID:
602191
Concept ID:
C0423250
Finding
Reduced transparency of the stroma of cornea.
Corneal stromal edema
MedGen UID:
96883
Concept ID:
C0474444
Finding
Abnormal accumulation of fluid and swelling of the stroma of cornea.
Severely reduced visual acuity
MedGen UID:
226987
Concept ID:
C1301509
Disease or Syndrome
Severe reduction of the ability to see. On the 6m visual acuity scale, severe reduction is defined as less than 6/60 but at least 3/60. On the 20ft visual acuity scale, severe reduction is defined as less than 20/200 but at least 20/400. On the decimal visual acuity scale, severe reduction is defined as less than 0.1 but at least 0.05.
