Cerebrotendinous Xanthomatosis ataxia responsive to CDCA and Riluzole.

Only registered users can translate articles

Cerebrotendinous Xanthomatosis (CTX) is a rare genetic disorder due to mutations in the CYP27A1 gene resulting in both systemic and neurologic manifestations from accumulation and deposition of cholestanol in tissues. Chenodeoxycholic Acid (CDCA) is the standard medical therapy, resulting in

[Autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxias].

Only registered users can translate articles

Friedreich ataxia is the most frequent recessive cerebral ataxia d should always be researched first. Ataxia with isolated vitamin E deficiency and abetalipoproteinemia have a specific treatment. Associated neurological signs such polyneuroapthy, ophtalmologic or oculomotor signs, pyramidal signs,

Cholestanol induces apoptosis of cerebellar neuronal cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is a hereditary lipid storage disease characterized by hyper-cholestanolemia, cerebellar ataxia, xanthoma, and cataract. We hypothesized that cholestanol in serum of CTX patients might induce neuronal cell death in the cerebellum and eventually lead to cerebellar

Keys to overcoming the challenge of diagnosing autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia.

BACKGROUND Autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia refers to a large group of diseases affecting the cerebellum and/or its connections, although they may also involve other regions of the nervous system. These diseases are accompanied by a wide range of systemic manifestations (cardiopathies,

A Preventable Ataxia: Cerebrotendinous Xanthomatosis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis is an autosomal recessive inborn error of metabolism that is an often missed but treatable cause of hereditary ataxia. We report a case of cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) that was diagnosed only after the development of cognitive decline and adult onset ataxia in

A case of cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis: effects of ursodeoxycholic acid administration on serum bile acids and cholestanol.

Only registered users can translate articles

Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is a rare familiar disease characterized by tendon xanthomas, cataracts, cerebellar ataxia, dementia and an elevated serum cholestanol level. In this paper, a 50-year-old man with typical signs and symptoms of CTX is described. Serum cholestanol and chelesterol

Clinical and molecular genetic features of cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis patients in Chinese families.

Only registered users can translate articles

Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is a lipid-storage disease caused by mutations in CYP27A1. Current publications of Chinese CTX were mainly based on case reports. Here we investigated the clinical manifestations, genetic features in Chinese CTX patients. The clinical materials of 4 Chinese CTX

A novel mutation in the cytochrome P450(27) (CYP27) gene caused cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis in a Japanese family.

Only registered users can translate articles

Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is an autosomal recessive lipid storage disease caused by mutations in the cytochrome P450(27) (CYP27) gene. This disease is characterized by the accumulation of a bile alcohol, cholestanol, in diverse tissues. Accumulation in the central nervous system leads to

Bilateral Achilles tendon enlargement.

Only registered users can translate articles

Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis is a rare, autosomal-recessive, lipid-storage disease with accumulation of cholestanol in most tissues, particularly within the Achilles tendons. It has been characterized both clinically and biochemically, and recently from the molecular biological aspect as well.

Bilateral Femoral Neck Fractures in Cerebrotendinous Xanthomatosis Treated by Hip Arthroplasties: The First Case Report and Literature Review.

Only registered users can translate articles

UNASSIGNED Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is a rare autosomal recessive lipid storage disease caused by mutations of the CYP27A1 gene and deficiency of the sterol-27-hydroxylase enzyme in bile acid biosynthesis. It is characterized by the accumulation of cholestanol and bile alcohols in

Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis without tendon xanthomas mimicking Marinesco-Sjoegren syndrome: a case report.

Only registered users can translate articles

A 39 year old patient with cerebellar signs, juvenile cataracts, and dull normal intelligence had cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis without tendon xanthomas, diagnosed previously as Marinesco-Sjoegren syndrome. Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis was proved by a greatly increased excretion of bile alcohols

Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis is a rare autosomal recessive lipid storage disorder affecting the biosynthetic pathway of bile acids, leading to increased cholestanol formation and its accumulation in various tissues. Patients can present with tendon xanthomas, gait abnormalities, osteoporosis with

Optic Neuropathy with Features Suggestive of Optic Neuritis in Cerebrotendinous Xanthomatosis.

Only registered users can translate articles

We describe our encounter with a 39-year-old man who exhibited acute painless visual loss and progressive gait disturbance. He had tendinous xanthoma and several neuroophthalmological findings indicative of optic neuropathy in the right eye, including afferent pupillary defect, cecocentral scotoma,

Only registered users can translate articles

Cerebrotendinous Xanthomatosis (CTX) is a rare autosomal recessive lipid storage disease caused by sterol 27-hydroxylase (CYP27) deficiency. We report three CTX siblings that shared a novel mutation of the CYP27A1 gene. These siblings presented with elevated cholestanol levels and typical
