Symptoms are present at birth and grow worse over time. Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top Riley-Day syndrome is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait, which means that a person must inherit a copy of the malfunctioning gene from each parent in order to develop the condition. It is seen most often in people of Eastern European Jewish ancestry (Ashkenazi Jews), where the incidence is 1 in 3,700. The disease is caused by mutation of the IKBKAP gene on chromosome 9. It is rare in the general population. Symptoms Return to top Infants with this condition have feeding problems and develop pneumonia caused by breathing food into their airways. Vomiting and sweating spells begin as the infant matures. Young children may also have breath-holding spells that produce unconsciousness, since they can hold their breath for long enough to pass out without feeling the discomfort that normal children would.

In 2003, researchers at Fordham University's Laboratory for Familial Dysautonomia Research, Drs. Berish Rubin and Sylvia Anderson, reported that a variant of Vitamin E, tocotrienols, improves FD gene function. For some families, tocotrienols have been nothing short of a miracle: ending crisis, causing the return of tears, and improving stamina. Only months later, Rubin and Anderson announced the discovery that EGCG, a compound found in green tea, increases the ratio of normal to abnormal gene expression. The combination of EGCG and tocotrienols has the potential of dramatically increasing the amount of normal IKAP protein, positively affecting the progression of Familial Dysautonomia.

It is found predominantly in people of European Jewish descent (Ashkenazi Jews). The disease is caused by mutation of the IKBKAP gene on chromosome 9. It is rare in the general population, but not amongst Ashkenazi Jews, where the incidence is estimated to be 1 in 3,700 people.

Infants with this condition have feeding problems and develop pneumonia caused by inhalation of their formula and food. Episodic vomiting and sweating spells begin following infancy. Young children also have breath-holding spells that produce unconsciousness Insensitivity to pain is a hallmark of Riley-Day syndrome and leads to unnoticed injuries or injuries that might not have occurred had the child sensed discomfort. Children do not feel the normal sensations that generally warn of impending injury such as drying of the eyes, pressure over pressure points, and

Extractions: Signs and tests: Tests: X-ray of the chest showing signs of recurrent aspiration pneumonia VMA - decreased HVA - elevated absence of flare response to histamine (Normally when histamine is injected just under the skin there will be swelling and redness. If there is a lack of this flair response or swelling/redness, the test is positive i.e., indicates Riley-Day syndrome.)
