Description : Alstrom syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by progressive cone-rod
dystrophy leading to blindness, sensorineural hearing loss, childhood obesity associated
with hyperinsulinemia, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Dilated cardiomyopathy occurs
in approximately 70% of patients during infancy or adolescence. Renal failure, pulmonary,
hepatic, and urologic dysfunction are often observed, and systemic fibrosis develops
with age (summary by Collin et al., 2002; Marshall et al., 2007).;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the ALMS1 gene (ALMS1, 606844.0001);
Laboratory abnormalities : Hyperinsulinemia; Hyperuricemia; Hypertriglyceridemia; Low HDL-cholesterol; Normal total cholesterol; Elevated serum transaminases;
