A rare, slowly progressive form of systemic mastocytosis (SM) characterized by gradual accumulation of neoplastic mast cells in the visceral organs. Patients typically present with splenomegaly, hypercellular marrow and, in most cases, urticaria pigmentosa-like skin lesions. Clinical course True Progressive Inferred relationship Some 2
Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy due to POMK deficiency is a form of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy presenting in infancy with muscle weakness and delayed motor development (eventually learning to walk at 18 months of age) followed by progressive proximal weakness, pseudohypertrophy of calf muscles, mild facial weakness, and borderline intelligence. Clinical course True Progressive Inferred relationship Some 3
A rare slowly progressive autosomal recessive syndromic cerebellar ataxia characterized by late-onset cerebellar dysfunction (including gait and limb ataxia, nystagmus, and dysarthria), bilateral vestibulopathy (abnormal vestibulo-ocular reflex), and axonal sensory neuropathy. Variable features may include chronic cough and autonomic dysfunction. Brain imaging usually shows cerebellar atrophy. Clinical course True Progressive Inferred relationship Some 2
Progressive macular hypomelanosis Clinical course True Progressive Inferred relationship Some 2
A rare genetic multiple congenital anomalies/dysmorphic syndrome with characteristics of slowly progressive night blindness, skeletal abnormalities (sloping shoulders, joint hyperextensibility, minor radiological anomalies) and characteristic facial features (periorbital anomalies, malar flatness, retrognathia). Additional manifestations include myopia and extinguished electroretinograms. Clinical course True Progressive Inferred relationship Some 3
A rare genetic disease characterized by severe progressive sensorineural hearing loss and progressive cerebellar signs including gait ataxia, action tremor, dysmetria, dysdiadochokinesis, dysarthria, and nystagmus. Absence of deep tendon reflexes has also been reported. Age of onset is between infancy and adolescence. Brain imaging may show variable cerebellar atrophy in some patients. Clinical course True Progressive Inferred relationship Some 2
PYCR2-related microcephaly-progressive leukoencephalopathy is a rare, genetic, syndromic intellectual disability disorder characterized by progressive postnatal microcephaly, cerebral hypomyelination and severe psychomotor developmental delayed with absent speech, as well as axial hypotonia, appendicular hypertonia with hyperextensibility of the wrists and ankles, hyperreflexia, severe muscle wasting and failure to thrive. Associated craniofacial dysmorphism includes triangular facies with bitemporal narrowing, down- or upslanting palpebral fissures, malar hypoplasia, large malformed ears with overfolded helices, upturned bulbous nose, long smooth philtrum and thin vermilion borders. Clinical course True Progressive Inferred relationship Some 5
A rare primary bone dysplasia characterized by osteosclerosis localized predominantly to the metaphyses and epiphyseal margins of the appendicular bones and metaphyseal equivalents of the axial bones, as well as the vertebral endplates, costal ends, and margins of the flat bones. The skull is usually unaffected. The condition is associated with developmental delay and hypotonia. Seizures and spastic paraplegia have also been reported. Serum alkaline phosphatase and urinary pyridinoline and deoxypyridinoline levels may be elevated. Clinical course True Progressive Inferred relationship Some 2
A rare autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxia characterized by early onset of slowly progressive cerebellar atrophy, clinically manifesting with extremity and truncal ataxia, global developmental delay, intellectual impairment, nystagmus, dysarthria, intention tremor, and pyramidal signs, among others. Clinical course True Progressive Inferred relationship Some 4
A rare progressive autosomal dominant macular dystrophy, presenting between the third and sixth decades of life, with characteristics of retinal atrophy and retinal detachment leading to loss of central vision, then peripheral vision, and eventually blindness. Clinical course True Progressive Inferred relationship Some 2
