   Extractions: Alexander disease is a rare, genetic, degenerative disorder of the nervous system. It is one of a group of genetic disorders called the leukodystrophies that affect growth of the myelin sheath — the fatty covering which acts as an insulator — on nerve fibers in the brain. Alexander disease, which affects mostly males, is usually nonfamilial and begins at about 6 months of age. Symptoms may include mental and physical retardation, dementia, enlargement of the brain and head, spasticity (stiffness of arms and/or legs), and seizures. In addition to the infantile form, juvenile and adult onset forms of the disorder have been reported. These forms occur less frequently and have a longer course of progression. Is there any treatment?

    Extractions: printer friendly ALEXANDER DISEASE home more about us in your area conditions information ... how you can help search this site Alexander disease is a rare genetic, degenerative disorder of the nervous system with effects on the mid brain and cerebellum; in the most common infantile form of the disease, the frontal white matter is involved. It is one of a group of genetic disorders called the leukodystrophies. The term leukodystrophy comes from the Greek words, 'leuko' meaning white and referring to the 'white matter' of the nervous system and 'dystrophy' meaning imperfect growth or development. In Alexander disease, the growth of the white matter of the brain, or myelin sheath, is affected. The brain stem may be particularly involved; in rare adult forms of the condition resulting in unusual signs such as flapping movement of the palate (palatal myoclonus), limb paralysis and clumsy movements. Cerebellar disease also occurs. The disease is due principally to mutations in a gene for glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) that maps to chromosome 17q21; all mutations to date have been heterozygous. Mutations suspected in another gene, NADH-ubiquinone flavoprotein-1, have not been detected in the majority of Alexander disease patients. The onset of Alexander disease may occur at any time during infancy or adulthood. For many individuals onset is between birth and two years, with the average being six months. This infantile form of the disease affects boys and girls and leads to delayed development and dementia. The condition is characterised by an enlarged brain and head (megalencephaly), progressive spasticity (stiffness of the arms and/or legs)
