Preferred Label : Neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease;
Symbol : NIID;
CISMeF acronym : NIID;
Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Description : Neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease (NIID) is characterized pathologically by
eosinophilic intranuclear inclusions in neurons of the peripheral, central, and autonomic
nervous systems associated with varying degrees of neuronal loss. Symptoms usually
begin in childhood but adult-onset cases have also been described. Clinical expression
is variable, depending on the sites of maximal neuronal loss, but is usually a multisystem
degenerative process of the central nervous system or a visceral neuropathy (summary
by Kimber et al., 1998). See the neuronal form of intestinal pseudoobstruction (243180).;
Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;
Molecular basis : Caused by trinucleotide repeat expansion (GGC)n in the NOTCH2 N-terminal-like C gene
(NOTCH2NLC, 618025.0001);
Laboratory abnormalities : Eosinophilic intranuclear inclusions in various cells, including adipocytes, muscle
cells, Schwann cells, sweat gland cells, and vascular smooth muscle cells; Inclusions stain positively for ubiquitin and p62 (SQSTM1);
