Preferred Label : giant axonal neuropathy;

MeSH definition : Rare autosomal recessive disorder of INTERMEDIATE FILAMENT PROTEINS. The disease is caused by mutations in the gene that codes gigaxonin protein. The mutations result in disorganization of axonal NEUROFILAMENT PROTEINS, formation of the characteristic giant axons, and progressive neuropathy. The clinical features of the disease include early-onset progressive peripheral motor and sensory neuropathies often associated with central nervous system involvement (INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY, seizures, DYSMETRIA, and CONGENITAL NYSTAGMUS).;

MeSH synonym : axonal neuropathy, giant (GAN); neuropathy, giant axonal; neuropathy, giant axonal (GAN); axonal neuropathy, giant; giant axonal neuropathy (GAN);

CISMeF synonym : axonal neuropathies, giant; axonal neuropathies, giant (GAN); giant axonal neuropathies; giant axonal neuropathies (GAN); neuropathies, giant axonal; neuropathies, giant axonal (GAN); giant axonal neuropathy 1;

MeSH hyponym : Neuropathy, Giant Axonal, Autosomal Recessive; Giant Axonal Neuropathy 1 (GAN1);
