Extractions: breadCrumbs("www.lowesyndrome.org",">>","index.html","breadcrumbs","breadcrumbsTitle","breadcrumbs","0"); Welcome to the LSA Lowe Syndrome (LS) is a rare genetic condition that causes physical and mental handicaps, and medical problems. Also called the oculo-cerebro-renal (OCRL) syndrome, it was first described in 1951 by Dr. Charles Lowe and colleagues. In 1983 a handful of parents founded the Lowe Syndrome Association (LSA). The LSA is an international, voluntary, non-profit organization made up of parents, friends, professionals, and others who are interested in Lowe syndrome, a rare genetic condition that affects boys. The primary purposes of the LSA are: Since Lowe syndrome is rare, affected families often feel isolated and alone. If you know of such a family, you can help by giving them information about the Lowe Syndrome Association If you are a family affected by Lowe syndrome, please contact us . You are but an email message away from linking with other families living with this rare and complicated condition. If our work inspires you to want to help, think about becoming a

http://www.lowetrust.com/about_lowes.shtml

Extractions: Lowe syndrome is caused by a low activity of the enzyme inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatase OCRL-1, which is encoded by the OCRL "Lowe Syndrome" is named after Doctors Lowe, Terrey, and MacLachlan who first described it in 1952 at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. Because of the three major organ systems involved (eyes, brain, and kidney), it is also known as OCRL (Oculo-Cerebro-Renal) syndrome. The syndrome is apparent in all races, cultures and nationalities and mostly affects boys The syndrome is caused by a DNA mutation* - a single defective gene on the X-chromosome - that results in the lack of an enzyme. The mutation can occur without any family history (a spontaneous mutation) or may be inherited through the mother. Babies are born with l cataracts in both eyes, hypotomia (muscle weakness), kidney problems (wasting of essential nutrients) impaired growth, intellectual impairment and later may suffer brittle bones, arthritis, rickets, epilepsy (seizures) and behavior problems (autistic spectrum disorder). Many also have cysts and dental problems. *Lowe syndrome can be caused by mutation in the OCRL1 gene ), mutations in which also cause

http://my.webmd.com/hw/health_guide_atoz/nord109.asp

Extractions: Lowe Syndrome, also known as oculo-cerebro-renal syndrome, is a rare inherited metabolic disease that affects males. This disorder is characterized by lack of muscle tone (hypotonia), multiple abnormalities of the eyes and bones, the presence at birth of clouding of the lenses of the eyes (cataracts), mental retardation, short stature, and kidney problems. Other findings may include protrusion of the eyeball from the eye socket (enophthalmos); failure to gain weight and grow at the expected rate; weak or absent deep tendon reflexes; and multiple kidney problems (e.g., renal tubular dysfunction, renal hyperaminoaciduria, etc.). Lowe Syndrome is inherited as an X-linked genetic trait and symptoms develop due to lack of the enzyme phosphatidylinositol 4,5-biphosphate 5 phosphatase.
