Disease characteristics

Excerpted from the GeneReview: TBC1D24-Related Disorders
TBC1D24-related disorders comprise a continuum of features that were originally described as distinct, recognized phenotypes: DOORS syndrome (deafness, onychodystrophy, osteodystrophy, mental retardation, and seizures). Profound sensorineural hearing loss, onychodystrophy, osteodystrophy, intellectual disability / developmental delay, and seizures. Familial infantile myoclonic epilepsy (FIME). Early-onset myoclonic seizures, focal epilepsy, dysarthria, and mild-to-moderate intellectual disability. Progressive myoclonus epilepsy (PME). Action myoclonus, tonic-clonic seizures, progressive neurologic decline, and ataxia. Early-infantile epileptic encephalopathy 16 (EIEE16). Epileptiform EEG abnormalities which themselves are believed to contribute to progressive disturbance in cerebral function. Autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss, DFNB86. Profound prelingual deafness. Autosomal dominant nonsyndromic hearing loss, DFNA65. Slowly progressive deafness with onset in the third decade, initially affecting the high frequencies. [from GeneReviews]

Additional description

From OMIM
Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy-16 (DEE16) is a severe autosomal recessive neurologic disorder characterized by the onset of seizures in the first weeks or months of life. Seizures can be of various types, are unresponsive to medication, last for long periods of time, and occur frequently. Affected infants show psychomotor regression or lack of psychomotor development, as well as other neurologic features such as extrapyramidal signs and hypotonia. Most die in childhood (summary by Duru et al., 2010 and Milh et al., 2013). For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of DEE, see 308350.  http://www.omim.org/entry/615338

Clinical features

From HPO
Dystonic disorder
MedGen UID:
3940
•Concept ID:
C0013421
•
Sign or Symptom
An abnormally increased muscular tone that causes fixed abnormal postures. There is a slow, intermittent twisting motion that leads to exaggerated turning and posture of the extremities and trunk.
See: Feature record | Search on this feature
Hemiparesis
MedGen UID:
6783
•Concept ID:
C0018989
•
Finding
Loss of strength in the arm, leg, and sometimes face on one side of the body. Hemiplegia refers to a complete loss of strength, whereas hemiparesis refers to an incomplete loss of strength.

Myoclonus
MedGen UID:
10234
•Concept ID:
C0027066
•
Sign or Symptom
Very brief, involuntary random muscular contractions occurring at rest, in response to sensory stimuli, or accompanying voluntary movements.
See: Feature record | Search on this feature
Status epilepticus
MedGen UID:
11586
•Concept ID:
C0038220
•
Disease or Syndrome
Status epilepticus is a type of prolonged seizure resulting either from the failure of the mechanisms responsible for seizure termination or from the initiation of mechanisms which lead to abnormally prolonged seizures (after time point t1). It is a condition that can have long-term consequences (after time point t2), including neuronal death, neuronal injury, and alteration of neuronal networks, depending on the type and duration of seizures.

Abnormality of extrapyramidal motor function
MedGen UID:
115941
•Concept ID:
C0234133
•
Sign or Symptom
A neurological condition related to lesions of the basal ganglia leading to typical abnormalities including akinesia (inability to initiate changes in activity and perform volitional movements rapidly and easily), muscular rigidity (continuous contraction of muscles with constant resistance to passive movement), chorea (widespread arrhythmic movements of a forcible, rapid, jerky, and restless nature), athetosis (inability to sustain the muscles of the fingers, toes, or other group of muscles in a fixed position), and akathisia (inability to remain motionless).

Cerebral atrophy
MedGen UID:
116012
•Concept ID:
C0235946
•
Disease or Syndrome
Atrophy (wasting, decrease in size of cells or tissue) affecting the cerebrum.
See: Feature record | Search on this feature
Epileptic encephalopathy
MedGen UID:
452596
•Concept ID:
C0543888
•
Disease or Syndrome
A condition in which epileptiform abnormalities are believed to contribute to the progressive disturbance in cerebral function. Epileptic encephalaopathy is characterized by (1) electrographic EEG paroxysmal activity that is often aggressive, (2) seizures that are usually multiform and intractable, (3) cognitive, behavioral and neurological deficits that may be relentless, and (4) sometimes early death.

•Concept ID:
C0557874
•
Finding
A delay in the achievement of motor or mental milestones in the domains of development of a child, including motor skills, speech and language, cognitive skills, and social and emotional skills. This term should only be used to describe children younger than five years of age.

Optic atrophy
MedGen UID:
18180
•Concept ID:
