Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Alternative titles and symbols : Alacrima, achalasia, and mental retardation syndrome;
Description : Alacrima, achalasia, and mental retardation syndrome (AAMR) is an autosomal recessive
disorder characterized by onset of these 3 main features at birth or in early infancy.
More variable features include hypotonia, gait abnormalities, anisocoria, and visual
or hearing deficits. The disorder shows similarity to the triple A syndrome (231550),
but patients with AAMR do not have adrenal insufficiency (summary by Koehler et al.,
2013). See also 300858 for a phenotypically similar disorder that shows X-linked inheritance.;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the GDP-mannose pyrophosphorylase A gene (GMPPA, 615495.0001);
Laboratory abnormalities : Normal serum transferrin profiles;
