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;
