enfermedad por acumulación de ácido fitánico
heredopatía atáxica polineuritiforme
neuropatía motora y sensitiva hereditaria de tipo IV
Scope note: Trastorno familiar autosómico recesivo que se manifiesta generalmente en la infancia con POLINEUROPATÍA, SORDERA neurosensorial, ICTIOSIS, ATAXIA, RETINITIS PIGMENTOSA y miocardiopatía. Las PROTEÍNAS DEL LÍQUIDO CEFALORRAQUÍDEO y el ÁCIDO FITÁNICO en el suero generalmente están elevados. Esta afección se asocia con un trastorno del metabolismo del ácido fitánico en los PEROXISOMAS.

Scope note: An autosomal recessive familial disorder that usually presents in childhood with POLYNEUROPATHY; SENSORINEURAL HEARING LOSS; ICHTHYOSIS; ATAXIA; RETINITIS PIGMENTOSA; and CARDIOMYOPATHIES. (From Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1991, Ch37, p58-9; Rev Med Interne 1996;17(5):391-8) This condition can be caused by mutation in the genes encoding peroxisomal phytanoyl-CoA hydroxylase or proteins associated peroxisomal membrane, leading to impaired catabolism of PHYTANIC ACID in PEROXISOMES.
