Preferred Label : Marinesco-sjogren syndrome;
Symbol : MSS;
CISMeF acronym : MSS;
Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Description : Marinesco-Sjogren syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized primarily
by congenital cataracts, cerebellar ataxia, progressive muscle weakness due to myopathy,
and delayed psychomotor development. Other features include short stature, hypergonadotrophic
hypogonadism, and skeletal deformities due to muscle weakness. MSS is genetically
distinct from congenital cataracts, facial dysmorphism, and neuropathy (CCFDN; 604168),
which is caused by mutation in the CTDP1 gene (604927) on chromosome 18q23, although
the 2 disorders share some overlapping features, including congenital cataracts, delayed
psychomotor development, and ataxia. The major distinguishing features are the presence
of peripheral neuropathy, facial dysmorphism, and microcornea in CCFDN (Lagier-Tourenne
et al., 2003).;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the SIL1 nucleotide exchange factor gene (SIL1, 608005.0001);
Laboratory abnormalities : Increased serum creatine kinase;
