Allan–Herndon–Dudley syndrome : ウィキペディア英語版 | Allan–Herndon–Dudley syndrome
Allan–Herndon–Dudley syndrome is a rare X-linked inherited disorder of brain development that causes moderate to severe intellectual disability and problems with movement. This condition, which occurs almost exclusively in males, disrupts development from before birth. Allan–Herndon–Dudley syndrome, which is named eponymously for William Allan, Florence C. Dudley, and C. Nash Herndon,〔Allan, W., Herndon, C. N., Dudley, F. C. Some examples of the inheritance of mental deficiency: apparently sex-linked idiocy and microcephaly. Am. J. Ment. Defic. 48: 325-334, 1944.〕 results from a mutation of the thyroid hormone transporter MCT8 (also referred to as SLC16A2). Consecutively, thyroid hormones are unable to enter the nervous system, which depends on thyroid signaling for proper function and development. ==Signs and Symptoms==
Most children with Allan–Herndon–Dudley syndrome have weak muscle tone (hypotonia) and underdevelopment of many muscles (muscle hypoplasia). As they get older, they usually develop joint deformities called contractures, which restrict the movement of certain joints. Abnormal muscle stiffness (spasticity), muscle weakness, and involuntary movements of the arms and legs also limit mobility. As a result, many people with Allan–Herndon–Dudley syndrome are unable to walk independently and become wheelchair-bound by adulthood.
