Developmental malformations-deafness-dystonia syndrome(DDS1)

MedGen UID:
1848671
Concept ID:
C5848323
Disease or Syndrome
Synonyms: DDS1; Juvenile-onset dystonia
Modes of inheritance:
Autosomal dominant inheritance
MedGen UID:
141047
Concept ID:
C0443147
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 heterozygotes. In the context of medical genetics, an autosomal dominant disorder is caused when a single copy of the mutant allele is present. Males and females are affected equally, and can both transmit the disorder with a risk of 50% for each child of inheriting the mutant allele.

Disease characteristics

Excerpted from the GeneReview: Baraitser-Winter Cerebrofrontofacial Syndrome
Baraitser-Winter cerebrofrontofacial (BWCFF) syndrome is a multiple congenital anomaly syndrome characterized by typical craniofacial features and intellectual disability. Many (but not all) affected individuals have pachygyria that is predominantly frontal, wasting of the shoulder girdle muscles, and sensory impairment due to iris or retinal coloboma and/or sensorineural deafness. Intellectual disability, which is common but variable, is related to the severity of the brain malformations. Seizures, congenital heart defects, renal malformations, and gastrointestinal dysfunction are also common. [from GeneReviews]

Additional description

From OMIM
Dystonia-deafness syndrome-1 (DDS1) is an autosomal dominant neurologic disorder characterized by congenital or childhood onset of sensorineural deafness with later onset of progressive dystonia that often involves the bulbar region, resulting in dysarthria and dysphagia. Some affected individuals have dysmorphic features, skeletal anomalies, and/or mild developmental delay with impaired intellectual development. The disorder is associated with striatal abnormalities. The severity is variable: death from intractable dystonia in the second or third decades has been reported in some patients (Gearing et al., 2002; Conboy et al., 2017).  http://www.omim.org/entry/607371

C0011168
Disease or Syndrome
Difficulty in swallowing.
Achalasia
MedGen UID:
5023
Concept ID:
C0014848
Disease or Syndrome
A disorder of esophageal motility characterized by the inability of the lower esophageal sphincter to relax during swallowing and by inadequate or lacking peristalsis in the lower half of the body of the esophagus.
Sensorineural hearing loss disorder
