[Contribution to the Louis-Bar syndrome (ataxia telangiectasia) (author's transl)]. 1978

A Tennstedt

An autopsy case report of a Louis-Bar syndrome (Ataxia telangiectasia) is given on a 9 year-old boy who was ill for 7 years. The Louis-Bar syndrome mostly is a hereditary familial disease transmitted by an autosomal recessive gene. We are considering the syndrome as a special form of hereditary ataxias which is morphologically belonging to the systematic atrophies of the cerebellum and, above all, combined with oculo-cutaneous telangiectasia and an immunopathy. As a peculiarity the present case exhibited the existence of generalized angiectasia (cerebellum, meninges, dura mater, epiphysis, skin, eyes, lungs, spleen, kidney).

D001260 Ataxia Telangiectasia An autosomal recessive inherited disorder characterized by choreoathetosis beginning in childhood, progressive CEREBELLAR ATAXIA; TELANGIECTASIS of CONJUNCTIVA and SKIN; DYSARTHRIA; B- and T-cell immunodeficiency, and RADIOSENSITIVITY to IONIZING RADIATION. Affected individuals are prone to recurrent sinobronchopulmonary infections, lymphoreticular neoplasms, and other malignancies. Serum ALPHA-FETOPROTEINS are usually elevated. (Menkes, Textbook of Child Neurology, 5th ed, p688) The gene for this disorder (ATM) encodes a cell cycle checkpoint protein kinase and has been mapped to chromosome 11 (11q22-q23).
