Floppy Baby Syndrome: A Comprehensive Review of the Chromosomal Abnormalities and Gene Mutations

In the process of evaluating floppy infant syndrome and attempting to narrow down to the primary cause of floppy infant Syndrome (FIS), it is imperative to determine whether the cause of FIS is peripheral or central.

A Pilot Study for Evaluation of Hypotonia in Children With Neurofibromatosis Type 1

Hypotonia, Congenital Hearing Loss, and Hypoactive Labyrinths

Four patients attending a neurosensory genetics clinic over an 11-year period presented with sensorineural hearing loss, hypotonia, and delay in the acquisition of motor milestones, demonstrating that hypoactive labyrinthine function may be associated with hypotonia that is severe enough to result in delayed acquisition ofMotor milestones.

It is proposed that the cerebellum is responding to the elaboration of growth factors intended to augment the slow development of cerebral structures and probably represents a marker for disturbed cerebral development.

Investigations have proved that the pathology of many cases of "amyotonia congenita" is the same as that of Werdnig-Hoffmann's disease, namely a degeneration of anterior horn cells of the spinal cord.

Evolution of nerve conduction abnormalities in children with dominant hypertrophic neuropathy of the charcot‐marie‐tooth type

Serial motor conduction velocities and distal motor latencies were determined in two pairs of dizygotic twins born to a parent with dominant hypertrophic neuropathy of the Charcot‐Marie‐Tooth type (HMSN‐I) and showed that maximal slowing of motor nerve conduction Velocities evolved over the first 3–5 years of life in HMSN‐ I.
