Extractions: FAQs Medical overview Family stories Research ... Publications Welcome! Marinesco-Sjogren Syndrome (MSS) is a very rare genetic disorder characterized by ataxia (balance and coordination problems), post-natal cataracts, generally some degree of cognitive delay, and very small stature. About 100 cases have been diagnosed worldwide. The purpose of this website is to provide information and support to families affected by MSS and to encourage communication between doctors and researchers interested in this disorder. The website provides information about MSS, as well as links to other useful sites. Explore our site to learn more about MSS or contact us to communicate with other families. This is a site run by a small number of MSS families, and dedicated to our very special children. Please do contact us whatever your interest in MSS. We will be delighted to hear from you and promise you a response. This website was last updated on November 29, 2004.

Marinesco-Sjogren syndrome (MSS) is a rare disorder that is inherited as an autosomal recessive genetic condition. The major features of this disorder are a loss of muscle coordination as a result of an affect on the cerebellum (cerebellar ataxia), cloudiness of the eyes' lenses (cataracts), increased muscle tension (spasticity), progressive muscle weakness, short stature, and mental deficits.

Extractions: Tell a friend Marinesco-Sjogren syndrome: A genetic disorder characterized by very small stature, cerebellar ataxia (wobbliness), cataracts, muscle weakness, hypogonadism (low gonadal function), and developmental and mental retardation. The disease is usually evident at birth because of hypotonia (floppiness). The cataracts appear during childhood. Motor milestones are delayed with ataxia apparent by the time the child can sit. Most patients are eventually able to ambulate with a walker. Growth is poor and pubertal development may not occur because of hypogonadism. Mental retardation is usually mild to moderate in severity. Prolonged survival is possible, but the muscle weakness tends to be progressive. The syndrome is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait with complete penetrance in both sexes. (Whoever receives two Marinesco-Sjogren genes, one from each parent, manifests the syndrome.) The nature of the genetic defect is unknown (as of 2001). The disease is very rare except in genetic isolates, such as one in rural Alabama.
