alacrima, congenital, autosomal recessive

Alacrima, congenital, autosomal recessive is a rare condition noted in its name by the presence of alacrima, which means a reduced or absent production of tears, starting from birth. The term 'autosomal recessive' indicates that this condition is inherited when both copies of a gene carry changes. Little detailed information is available in the trusted sources beyond its name and inheritance pattern. As a result, our understanding of the full spectrum of the condition is limited at this time.

The main feature known from the name of the condition is a lack or reduction of tear production, a symptom referred to as alacrima. Beyond this key feature, additional details about symptoms and signs have not been provided in the sources.

This condition is described as autosomal recessive, meaning that it is related to genetic inheritance where both gene copies are affected. Specific genetic causes or risk factors beyond this inheritance pattern have not been detailed in the provided sources.
