Alström Syndrome is a very rare, hereditary genetic disorder first described by C.H. Alström in Sweden in 1959. Since then, there have been only 79 cases reported in the medical literature. We currently have identified 170 individuals with Alström Syndrome in twenty-two different countries. Alström Syndrome is progressive. The first sign observed in infants is usually extreme light sensitivity (photophobia) and a wobbling of the eyes (nystagmus). Another of the first signs MAY be dilated cardiomyopathy and congestive heart failure in infants under 1 year of age.
