Spastic paraplegia-intellectual disability-nystagmus-obesity syndrome

What it is

A rare genetic neurological disorder characterized by the association of congenital spastic paraplegia with global developmental delay and intellectual disability, ophthalmologic abnormalities (including nystagmus, reduced visual acuity, or hypermetropia), and obesity. Additional manifestations are brachyplagiocephaly and dysmorphic facial features. Brain imaging may show dilated ventricles, abnormal myelination, and mild generalized atrophy. Homozygous loss-of-function variants of KIDINS220 associated with a fetal lethal phenotype with ventriculomegaly and limb contractures have been reported.

Malformation syndrome

Prevalence figures describe populations, not individuals, and are often estimates from a single study. Where the figure is an incidence or a birth prevalence, it says so.

Signs and symptoms

These ranges are how often a sign appears across everyone diagnosed, not a prediction for one person — most people have some of these and not others. Orphanet also records findings that are specifically absent in this disease; those are in the data but not listed here.

ICD-10 codes

ICD-10 has no distinct code for most rare diseases, so many are filed under the nearest available one. A shared code identifies the group, not this disease — the ORPHAcode above is what identifies it.

Reached through the ICD-10 categories this disease is filed under, so these describe the broader group rather than this disease specifically.
