A rare disease gets a breakthrough: Ctexli approved for cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Basic & Clinical Pharmacology
Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is a rare, autosomal recessive lipid storage disorder caused by mutations in the CYP27A1 gene, leading to sterol 27-hydroxylase deficiency and cholestanol accumulation.

Cerebrotendinous Xanthomatosis

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2010
We describe two adolescent Indian siblings with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis with cognitive impairment, progressive neurological deterioration, juvenile cataracts and chronic diarrhea. Both patients had bilateral Achilles tendon xanthomata. Rapid progression of disease was an unusual finding in these cases.

Cerebrotendinous Xanthomatosis

Neurologic Clinics, 1989
Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis is a rare familial lipid storage that is caused by a defect in bile acid synthesis. As a result, large amounts of cholestanol, the 5 alpha-dihydro derivative of cholesterol, accumulate in virtually every tissue, with extra large deposits in the nervous system, xanthomas, and bile.

Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis revisited

Practical Neurology, 2021
Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis is a rare autosomal recessive lipid storage syndrome defined clinically by the triad of progressive neurodegeneration, juvenile cataracts and tendon xanthomas in adults. It is treatable, and a prompt diagnosis can improve outcomes. We describe a patient with this condition who presented with progressive ataxia.

Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis

Current Opinion in Lipidology, 1994
Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis is an autosomal recessive lipid-storage disease caused by mutations in the sterol 27-hydroxylase (CYP27) gene. Recent cloning and characterization of CYP27 enables further analysis and understanding of the pathophysiology of this multisystem disease.

Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis

Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 2001
Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis is a rare autosomal recessive lipid-storage disease caused by mutations in the sterol 27-hydroxylase gene. The accumulation of cholestanol in various tissues characterizes this disease. Diagnosis is based on determination of urinary bile alcohols.
