Disease ID | Source | Name | Description |
617389 | OMIM | Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 53 (DEE53) | A form of epileptic encephalopathy, a heterogeneous group of severe childhood onset epilepsies characterized by refractory seizures, neurodevelopmental impairment, and poor prognosis. Development is normal prior to seizure onset, after which cognitive and motor delays become apparent. DEE53 inheritance is autosomal recessive. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
615530 | OMIM | Parkinson disease 20, early-onset (PARK20) | An early-onset form of Parkinson disease, a complex neurodegenerative disorder characterized by bradykinesia, resting tremor, muscular rigidity and postural instability, as well as by a clinically significant response to treatment with levodopa. The pathology involves the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and the presence of Lewy bodies (intraneuronal accumulations of aggregated proteins), in surviving neurons in various areas of the brain. PARK20 is characterized by young adult-onset of parkinsonism. Additional features may include seizures, cognitive decline, abnormal eye movements, and dystonia. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
