Opsoclonus-Myoclonus Syndrome

Tr io Health Meet OMS Warrior ALEXA What is OMS? OPSOCLONUS-MYOCLONUS SYNDROME General Discussion Opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome (OMS) is an inflammatory neurological disorder, often occurring as a paraneoplastic syndrome with neurological symptoms being the first sign of an occult tumor. It is characterized by associated ocular, motor, behavioral, sleep, and language disturbances. The onset is oftentimes abrupt and can be relatively severe, with the potential to become chronic unless the appropriate diagnosis and treatment are reached in a timely manner. Signs and Symptoms The component features of OMS include the presence of rapid, seemingly random eye movements in the horizontal, vertical, and diagonal directions (opsoclonus); an unsteady gait or inability to walk or stand (ataxia); and brief, repetitive, shock-like muscle spasms or tremors within the arms, legs, or hands interfering with normal use (myoclonus). Behavioral and sleep disturbances, including extreme irritability, inconsolable crying, reduced or fragmented sleep (insomnia), and rage attacks are common. Difficulty articulating speech (dysarthria), sometimes with complete loss of speech and language, may occur. Additional symptoms, such as decreased muscle tone (hypotonia) and vomiting, have also been noted. Causes The most common cause of OMS in young children is an occult (ie, a small, often hidden) tumor. The symptoms of OMS, as a paraneoplastic syndrome, presumably stem from the immune system attacking the tumor, leading to secondary inflammatory effects on the central nervous system. -

McKusick’s Mendelian Inheritance in Man on CD-ROM. Baltimore, Johns Hopkins University Press, 1998. Other sources include McKusick’s, Mendelian Inheritance in Man. Catalogs of Human Genes and Genetic Disorders. Baltimore. Johns Hopkins University Press 1998 (12th edition). http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Omim See also S.P.Daiger, L.S. Sullivan, and B.J.F.

And Genetics in Primary Eyecare and Clinical Medicine by M.R. Seashore and R.S.Wappner, Appleton and Lange 1996. M. Ridley’s book Genome published in 2000 by Perennial provides additional information. Ridley estimates that we have 60,000 to 80,000 genes. See also R.M. Henig’s book The Monk in the Garden: The Lost and Found Genius of Gregor Mendel, published by Houghton Mifflin in 2001 which tells about the Father of Genetics. The 3rd edition of F. H. Roy’s book Ocular Syndromes and Systemic Diseases published by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins in 2002 facilitates differential diagnosis. Additional information is provided in D. Pavan-Langston’s Manual of Ocular Diagnosis and Therapy (5th edition) published by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins in 2002. M.A. Foote wrote Basic Human Genetics for Medical Writers in the AMWA Journal 2002;17:7-17. A compilation such as this might suggest that one gene = one disease. -
Larsen Syndrome

Mutations in gene encoding nonconsanguinous couple presented with multiple filamin B (FLNB) result in Larsen syndrome. This joint dislocation since birth. He had mild motor gene has an important role in vertebral delay. Examination showed presence of short segmentation, joint formation and endochondral stature. There was no microcephaly. He had flat ossification and is also mutated in atelosteogenesis facies, prominent forehead, depressed nasal bridge, types I and III, and in spondylocarpotarsal and hypertelorism (Fig. 1). He had bilateral syndromes. Autosomal dominant form is rhizomelic shortening of upper limbs, spatulate and characterized by flat facies, joint hypermobility, dislocated thumbs (Fig. 2), bilateral elbow, ankle, congenital multiple joint dislocations, especially of and hip dislocation (Fig.3). Examination of parents the knees and talipes equinovarus. The mid-face is did not reveal any features of Larsen syndrome. hypoplastic with a depressed nasal bridge. Cleft X-rays of long bones showed presence of bilateral palate may be present. Osteoarthritis involving large tibio-femoral and patellar dislocation at knees and joints and progressive kyphoscoliosis are potential dislocation at hip, ankles and thumbs. He also had complications. Airway obstruction caused by hypoplastic fibula on right side. X-ray spine showed tracheomalacia and bronchomalacia may be life presence of short and thick pedicles, kyphosis and threatening. All affected individuals should be hypoplastic superior articular facets. There was no evaluated for cervical spine instability and caution atlanto axial dislocation. -

Prevalence and Incidence of Rare Diseases: Bibliographic Data
Number 1 | January 2019 Prevalence and incidence of rare diseases: Bibliographic data Prevalence, incidence or number of published cases listed by diseases (in alphabetical order) www.orpha.net www.orphadata.org If a range of national data is available, the average is Methodology calculated to estimate the worldwide or European prevalence or incidence. When a range of data sources is available, the most Orphanet carries out a systematic survey of literature in recent data source that meets a certain number of quality order to estimate the prevalence and incidence of rare criteria is favoured (registries, meta-analyses, diseases. This study aims to collect new data regarding population-based studies, large cohorts studies). point prevalence, birth prevalence and incidence, and to update already published data according to new For congenital diseases, the prevalence is estimated, so scientific studies or other available data. that: Prevalence = birth prevalence x (patient life This data is presented in the following reports published expectancy/general population life expectancy). biannually: When only incidence data is documented, the prevalence is estimated when possible, so that : • Prevalence, incidence or number of published cases listed by diseases (in alphabetical order); Prevalence = incidence x disease mean duration. • Diseases listed by decreasing prevalence, incidence When neither prevalence nor incidence data is available, or number of published cases; which is the case for very rare diseases, the number of cases or families documented in the medical literature is Data collection provided. A number of different sources are used : Limitations of the study • Registries (RARECARE, EUROCAT, etc) ; The prevalence and incidence data presented in this report are only estimations and cannot be considered to • National/international health institutes and agencies be absolutely correct. -

Among this spectrum of diseases, LS causes a milder hypoplasia of the skeletal system, compared to BD’s much more severe symptoms. Previous studies revealed limited molecular mechanisms of FLNB-related diseases but most of them were carried out with HEK293 cells from the kidney which could not reproduce FLNB’s specificity to skeletal tissues. -
