Galloway-Mowat syndrome

Galloway-Mowat syndrome, also known as Galloway syndrome among other names, is a rare condition that involves problems with both the kidneys and the central nervous system. The condition is defined by the occurrence of nephrotic syndrome, a kidney disorder that leads to excessive loss of protein, together with anomalies of the central nervous system, which may affect brain development and function. It is important to note that there are several synonyms for this syndrome, highlighting its varying descriptions including aspects such as microcephaly and cerebellar ataxia. However, the core characteristic remains the combination of kidney issues and central nervous system anomalies.

People with this condition typically present with nephrotic syndrome and central nervous system anomalies. Nephrotic syndrome may involve protein loss and kidney dysfunction, while the central nervous system anomalies can impact brain development. Detailed descriptions of all possible symptoms are limited in the available information.
