The topic Acanthocytosis with Neurologic Disorder you are seeking is a synonym, or alternative name, or is closely related to the medical condition Chorea-Acanthocytosis.

Quick Summary:

• Chorea-Acanthocytosis (ChAc) is an uncommon, genetic, and primarily neurological disorder. The disorder is caused by mutation(s) in the VPS13 gene (also known as the CHAC gene), which codes for a certain protein ‘chorein’. The exact function of this protein is unclear
• As the name of the disorder indicates, it is composed of 2 components - ‘chorea’ and ‘acanthocytosis’
  • Chorea is a neurological disorder that results in abnormal and repetitive movements of various parts of the body. These movements are uncontrolled and characterized by jerky actions
  • Acanthocytosis is a disorder of red blood cells resulting in abnormal shape of red cells. The red cells normally have a smooth outer surface. In acanthocytosis, the red cells have abnormal spikes in the outer surface, which affect their function
• Apart from movement problems, individuals with this disorder also have abnormal muscle tone called dystonia, in which the muscles of the face, hands, legs, tongue, and throat are affected
• Blood tests (including examination of blood under the microscope), imaging studies, and nerve biopsy are some methods that may be employed to diagnose the condition
• The condition is progressive and the treatment is generally geared toward supportive therapies to improve the quality of life of those affected
• In many cases, the prognosis is poor for individuals with Chorea-Acanthocytosis, due to shortened life expectancies. Also, since Chorea-Acanthocytosis is a genetic disorder, there are no preventive methods or guidelines currently available for this condition
