" /> Richards-rundle syndrome - CISMeF





Preferred Label : Richards-rundle syndrome;

Symbol : RRNS;

CISMeF acronym : RRNS;

Type : Phenotype or locus, molecular basis unknown;

Alternative titles and symbols : Ataxia-deafness-mental retardation syndrome;

Description : Richards and Rundle (1959) described a family in which 5 of 13 offspring of a marriage of first cousins once removed had ketoaciduria, mental retardation, underdevelopment of secondary sex characteristics, deafness, ataxia, and peripheral muscle wasting. See also the report of Matthews (1950). The condition progressed in childhood but eventually became static. It represented no risk to life. Richards and Rundle (1959) found in the literature a description of a brother and sister who probably had the same condition (Koennecke, 1920). Sylvester (1972) studied 2 of the sibs reported by Richards and Rundle (1959). The neuropathologic findings suggested the Roussy-Levy syndrome (180800). See Berman et al. (1974) and 208850 for a similar disorder. *FIELD* RF 1. Berman, W.; Haslam, R. H. A.; Konigsmark, B. W.; Capute, A.
