Generalized tonic-clonic seizures occur in greater than 90 percent of individuals and absence seizures occur in a third. Seizures typically occur shortly after waking and when tired. Sleep deprivation is an important provoking factor. Photosensitivity is common. Development and cognition are typically normal. Neurological examination is normal. The electroencephalogram shows 3 to 5.5 Hz generalized spike-wave and polyspike-wave and a normal background. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A type of epilepsy that presents with myoclonic-atonic seizures usually between 2 to 6 years of age. Other generalized seizure types which may be seen in this syndrome include atonic, myoclonic, generalized tonic-clonic seizures, tonic and absence seizures. Nonconvulsive status epilepticus is common. Development prior to seizure onset is normal in two thirds of cases. These children typically show developmental stagnation or even regression during the active seizures (stormy) phase, which improves once seizures are controlled. The electroencephalogram shows generalized 2 to 6 Hz spike-wave or polyspike-and-wave abnormalities, with normal background. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)

A type of nemaline myopathy only observed in several families of the Amish community. It has a neonatal onset and patients present with hypotonia associated to contractures, a severe pectus carinatum, and tremor that subside after 2-3 months of age. The causative gene is TNNT1 (19q13.4) and transmission follows an autosomal recessive pattern. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A type of nemaline myopathy that shows features of typical nemaline myopathy in neonates with a more severe progression. Neonates present with spontaneous anti-gravity movements and active respiratory muscles, but with a progressive generalized weakness which prevents achievement of gross motor milestones or leads to loss of ambulation and/or independent respiration by age 11 years. Children often develop joint contractures. The ACTA1 (1q42.13), NEB (2q22) or TPM3 (1q21.2) genes have been associated with this disease. The transmission pattern of the disease is autosomal recessive or dominant. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A type of nemaline myopathy with characteristics of distal muscle weakness and sometimes slowness of muscle contraction. Onset is around 10 years of age, with initial presentation of symmetric weakness of ankle dorsiflexion and foot drop, or a general slowness of muscle contraction. All movements at the ankle and more proximal limb muscles may be disturbed. Weakness is slowly progressive. Facial, respiratory and cardiac muscles are generally normal, but patients are unable to jump or run because of muscle weakness or slowness. This form of nemaline myopathy is caused by mutations in the ACTA1 (1q42.13), NEB (2q22), TPM2 (9p13.3) or TPM3 (1q21.2) genes. Transmission follows an autosomal dominant pattern. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)

A type of oculocutaneous albinism recently discovered in one Chinese family, with characteristics of light hair at birth that darkens with age, white skin, transparent irides, photophobia, nystagmus, foveal hypoplasia and reduced visual acuity. Caused by mutations in the SLC24A5 gene (15q21.1). Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A type of oculocutaneous albinism with characteristics of mild hypopigmentation of the skin, hair, and eyes with moderate reduction of visual acuity and nystagmus. The ocular phenotype includes moderate foveal hypoplasia, iris transillumination and hypopigmentation of the retina. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A type of primary congenital hypothyroidism a permanent thyroid hormone deficiency that is present from birth, which results from inborn errors of thyroid hormone synthesis. Clinical manifestations are those of other forms of congenital hypothyroidism. In addition to features of hypothyroidism, patients can present with goiter. Caused by hereditary defects in the steps of thyroid hormone synthesis and secretion, the majority of which are transmitted in an autosomal recessive manner but at least one condition has autosomal dominant inheritance. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A type of primary congenital hypothyroidism, a permanent thyroid hormone deficiency that is present from birth due to thyroid resistance to thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). Clinical manifestations are those of other forms of congenital hypothyroidism. Goiter is always absent. Caused by mutations in the TSH receptor gene (TSHR, 14q31) resulting in resistance to TSH, which causes a reduction in thyroid hormone production. Mutations in TSHR may also cause thyroid hypoplasia. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A type of primary hyperaldosteronism resulting from a benign neoplasm of the adrenal gland. The adrenal neoplasm increases production of aldosterone. Excess aldosterone causes the kidneys to retain more salt than usual resulting in increases in body fluid levels and blood pressure. The disease is caused by mutations in one of several genes. The most commonly mutated gene is KCNJ5, accounting for an estimated 40 percent of the neoplasms, followed by the CACNA1D and ATP1A1 genes. Changes in other genes cause a small percentage of cases with additional unidentified genes involved in the condition. The disease is generally not inherited but may arise from a mutation occurring after conception. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A type of progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis, this disease is a severe, neonatal, hereditary disorder in bile formation that is hepatocellular in origin and not associated with extrahepatic features. Onset occurs in the neonatal period. Clinical signs of cholestasis usually appear in the first months of life with recurrent or permanent jaundice associated with hepatomegaly and severe pruritus. Patients usually develop fibrosis and end-stage liver disease before adulthood. PFIC2 is due to mutations in the ABCB11 gene (2q24) encoding the bile salt export pump (BSEP) protein resulting in impaired biliary bile acid secretion which leads to decreased bile flow and bile salt accumulation in hepatocytes with ongoing severe hepatocellular damage. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A type of pseudohypoparathyroidism with characteristics of localized resistance to parathyroid hormone (PTH) mainly in the renal tissues which manifests with hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia and elevated PTH levels. About 60-70% of patients also present with elevated TSH levels due to TSH resistance. Severity of symptoms can vary greatly between patients and even among kindreds. The majority of cases are sporadic, but an autosomal dominant transmission has also been described. About 70% of patients display methylation defects, sporadic or genetic-based, at GNAS (20q13.2-q13.3) differentially methylated regions (DMRs). Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A type of pseudohypoparathyroidism with characteristics of resistance to parathyroid hormone (PTH), which manifests with hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia and elevated PTH levels, absence of Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy and normal expression of the Gs protein with a normal urinary cAMP response. To date no specific genetic alteration responsible for this disorder has been detected. It has been hypothesized that in most cases it may be an acquired defect secondary to vitamin D deficiency such as in misdiagnosed secondary renal hyperparathyroidism.

A type of thrombocytosis, a sustained elevation of platelet numbers, which affects the platelet/megakaryocyte lineage and may create a tendency for thrombosis and hemorrhage but does not cause myeloproliferation. The disease usually presents at birth but can be discovered at any time during life and thus can affect all ages. Familial thrombocytosis is caused by germline mutations in the THPO gene (3q26.3-q27) or in the MPL (MPL S505N) gene (1p34). Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A type of transient congenital hypothyroidism a thyroid hormone deficiency that is not permanent. Patients may present with symptoms similar to those of permanent congenital hypothyroidism or they may be asymptomatic. It is caused by the transfer of maternal thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) blocking antibodies, which can block the TSH receptor in the neonatal thyroid resulting in hypothyroidism in the infant. The effect can last up to 3-6 months after birth as maternal antibody levels fall. Treatment with l-thyroxine is usually required during this period. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A unilateral or bilateral congenital cyst of the nasolacrimal duct, which is almost always associated with dacryocystocele, presenting most commonly at birth or a few weeks of age (but rarely presenting in adulthood) as a benign, grayish blue mass in the inferomedial canthus or in the nasal cavity, that can cause epiphora, dacryocystitis (inflammation of the lacrimal sac) and nasal obstruction. It is more commonly reported in females. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
