Summaries for Optic Pathway Glioma

About this section
GARD : 20 The following summary is from Orphanet, a European reference portal for information on rare diseases and orphan drugs. Orpha Number: 2086 Definition Optic pathway glioma (OPG) is a benign tumor that develop along the optic nerve (chiasm, tracts, and radiations) characterized by impairment or loss of vision and may be accompanied by diencephalic symptoms such as reduced growth and alteration in sleeping patterns. OPG are often linked to neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1, see this term).

MalaCards based summary : Optic Pathway Glioma, also known as visual pathway glioma, is related to neurofibromatosis and neurofibromatosis, type i. An important gene associated with Optic Pathway Glioma is NF1 (Neurofibromin 1). The drugs Peginterferon alfa-2b and Lenalidomide have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include eye, brain and colon, and related phenotypes are nystagmus and optic atrophy
