Boucher-Neuhäuser syndrome is a very rare genetic disorder which is characterized by a triad consisting of cerebellar ataxia, chorioretinal dystrophy, and hypogonadism.[2][3]
Signs and symptoms
[edit]The symptoms have already been mentioned above, this section will be used to denote the onset of these symptoms: The cerebellar ataxia associated with this syndrome often appears in adolescence-early adulthood, chorioretinal dystrophy usually appears between the age of 50 and 60 years old, and the hypogonadotropic hypogonadism appears in late childhood-adolescence.[4][5]
Causes
[edit]This disorder is caused by autosomal recessive mutations in the PNPLA6 gene, in chromosome 19.[6]
Diagnosis

Epidemiology
[edit]Only 22 cases have been described in medical literature (excluding the cases which were not first reported to be part of the syndrome, which were approximately 19 cases).[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][6][15]
