" /> Griscelli syndrome, type 1 - CISMeF





Preferred Label : Griscelli syndrome, type 1;

Symbol : GS1;

CISMeF acronym : GS1;

Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;

Alternative titles and symbols : Griscelli syndrome, cutaneous and neurologic type; Partial albinism and primary neurologic disease without hemophagocytic syndrome; Griscelli syndrome with neurologic impairment;

Description : Griscelli syndrome type 1 (GS1) represents hypomelanosis with a primary neurologic deficit and without immunologic impairment or manifestations of hemophagocytic syndrome (Menasche et al., 2002). Griscelli syndrome with immune impairment, or Griscelli syndrome type 2 (607624), is caused by mutation in the RAB27A gene (603868). Griscelli syndrome type 3 (609227), characterized by hypomelanosis with no immunologic or neurologic manifestations, can be caused by mutation in the melanophilin (MLPH; 606526) or MYO5A genes. Griscelli syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that results in pigmentary dilution of the skin and hair, the presence of large clumps of pigment in hair shafts, and an accumulation of melanosomes in melanocytes. While most patients also develop hemophagocytic syndrome, leading to death in the absence of bone marrow transplantation (Menasche et al., 2000), some show severe neurologic impairment early in life without apparent immune abnormalities. Bahadoran et al. (2003) characterized GS1 as comprising hypomelanosis and severe central nervous system dysfunction, corresponding to the 'dilute' phenotype in the mouse, and GS2 as comprising hypomelanosis and lymphohistiocytotic hemophagocytosis, corresponding to the 'ashen' phenotype in mouse. Anikster et al. (2002), Menasche et al. (2002), Huizing et al. (2002), and Bahadoran et al. (2003, 2003) suggested that Elejalde syndrome (256710) in some patients and GS1 represent the same entity.;

Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;

Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the myosin VA gene (MYO5A, 160777.0002);

Prefixed ID : #214450;
