Descriptor síndrome de Alstrom
Scope note: Enfermedad autosómica recesiva poco frecuente caracterizada por disfunción de múltiples órganos. Las manifetaciones clínicas clave son degeneración retiniana (NISTAGMO PATOLÓGICO, RETINITIS PIGMENTOSA y eventual ceguera), obesidad en la niñez, sordera neurosensorial y desarrolo mental normal. Las complicaciones endocrinas comprenden DIABETES MELLITUS TIPO 2, HIPERINSULINEMIA, ACANTOSIS NIGRICANS, HIPOTIROIDISMO e insuficiencia renal y hepática progresivas. La enfermedad se debe a mutaciones del gen ALMS1.

Scope note: Rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by multiple organ dysfunction. The key clinical features include retinal degeneration (NYSTAGMUS, PATHOLOGIC; RETINITIS PIGMENTOSA; and eventual blindness), childhood obesity, sensorineural hearing loss, and normal mental development. Endocrinologic complications include TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS; HYPERINSULINEMIA; ACANTHOSIS NIGRICANS; HYPOTHYROIDISM; and progressive renal and hepatic failures. The disease is caused by mutations in the ALMS1 gene.
