Giant axonal neuropathy is a chronic polyneuropathy of childhood that affects both the peripheral and central nervous systems and is accompanied by characteristically kinky hair and unique posture of legs (see illustrations by Berg et al., 1972; Igisu et al., 1975; Carpenter et al., 1974). Axonal loss and the presence of giant axonal swellings filled with neurofilaments on nerve biopsy are the pathologic hallmark of this neurodegenerative disorder (Tazir et al., 2009).

MalaCards based summary : Giant Axonal Neuropathy 1, Autosomal Recessive, also known as giant axonal neuropathy 1, is related to eye disease and diabetes mellitus, noninsulin-dependent, and has symptoms including neuralgia, facial paresis and abnormal pyramidal signs. An important gene associated with Giant Axonal Neuropathy 1, Autosomal Recessive is GAN (Gigaxonin), and among its related pathways/superpathways are NRF2 pathway and Eicosanoid Synthesis. Affiliated tissues include cerebellum, pituitary and skin, and related phenotypes are intellectual disability and scoliosis Disease Ontology : 12 An axonal neuopathy that is characterized by progressive motor and sensitive peripheral, central nervous system neuropathy, with axonal loss and giant axonal swellings filled with neurofilaments, and has material basis in autosomal recessive inheritance of homozygous or compound heterozygous mutation in the gigaxonin (GAN) gene on chromosome 16q23. UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot : 73 Giant axonal neuropathy 1, autosomal recessive: A severe autosomal recessive sensorimotor neuropathy affecting both the peripheral nerves and the central nervous system. Axonal loss and the presence of giant axonal swellings filled with neurofilaments on nerve biopsies are the hallmarks of this neurodegenerative disorder. |
