    Extractions: Symptomatic Alexander disease is a slowly progressive disease that primarily affects children. First described by Alexander in 1949, it is characterized by the finding of Rosenthal fibers in brain specimens(Harding 1990). It is genetically determined, by sporadic gain of function mutations in the GFAP gene (Brenner, Johnson et al. 2001). This observation adds Alexander disease to a growing list of intermediate filament diseases, which includes Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (lamin A/C), cardiac and skeletal desmin myopathy (Desmin). To date all cases have been sporadic and more recent mutational analysis has not found mutations in either parent. There have been case reports, not genetically confirmed, of more than one child being affected (Johnson, Personal Communication, United Leukodystrophy Foundation Annual Meeting, 2002). Return to top The incidence of more than one affected person in any kindred is exceptional.

    Extractions: It is possible that the main title of the report Alexander Disease is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report. In infants and young children affected by Alexander Disease, associated symptoms and findings include a failure to grow and gain weight at the expected rate (failure to thrive); delays in the development of certain physical, mental, and behavioral skills that are typically acquired at particular stages (psychomotor retardation); and progressive enlargement of the head (macrocephaly). Additional features typically include sudden episodes of uncontrolled electrical activity in the brain (seizures); abnormally increased muscle stiffness and restriction of movement (spasticity); and progressive neurological deterioration. In some cases, there is hydrocephalus. In most cases, Alexander Disease appears to occur randomly for unknown reasons (sporadically), with no family history of the disease. In an extremely small number of cases, it is thought that the disorder may have affected more than one family member.

DESCRIPTION: Alexander disease is a rare, genetic, degenerative disorder of the nervous system. It is one of a group of genetic disorders called the leukodystrophies that affect growth of the myelin sheath, the fatty coveringwhich acts as an insulatoron nerve fibers in the brain. Alexander disease, which affects mostly males, usually begins at about 6 months of age. Symptoms may include mental and physical retardation, dementia, enlargement of the brain and head, spasticity (stiffness of arms and/or legs), and seizures. In addition to the infantile form, juvenile and adult onset forms of the disorder have been reported. These forms occur less frequently and have a longer course of progression. Is there any treatment?

    Extractions: helpful? yes no Alexander disease is a rare genetic, degenerative disorder of the nervous system with effects on the mid brain and cerebellum; in the most common infantile form of the disease, the frontal white matter is involved. It is one of a group of genetic disorders called the leukodystrophies. The term leukodystrophy comes from the Greek words, 'leuko' meaning white and referring to the 'white matter' of the nervous system and 'dystrophy' meaning imperfect growth or development. In Alexander disease, the growth of the white matter of the brain, or myelin sheath, is affected. The brain stem may be particularly involved; in rare adult forms of the condition resulting in unusual signs such as flapping movement of the palate (palatal myoclonus), limb paralysis and clumsy movements. Cerebellar disease also occurs. The disease is due principally to mutations in a gene for glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) that maps to chromosome 17q21; all mutations to date have been heterozygous. Mutations suspected in another gene, NADH-ubiquinone flavoprotein-1, have not been detected in the majority of Alexander disease patients. The onset of Alexander disease may occur at any time during infancy or adulthood. For many individuals onset is between birth and two years, with the average being six months. This infantile form of the disease affects boys and girls and leads to delayed development and dementia. The condition is characterised by an enlarged brain and head (megalencephaly), progressive spasticity (stiffness of the arms and/or legs)
