MONDO:0017831

Also known as:juvenile Canavan disease

Overview

Mild Canavan disease (CD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by mild speech delay or motor development.

ResearchLimited published research (5 articles)

Clinical Presentation

Built from Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) phenotype annotations and GeneReviews clinical descriptions. Features represent findings documented across known cases — not an exhaustive list of possible symptoms.

Features include common findings: Motor delay, Specific learning disability, Poor speech, and Mild global developmental delay and others; and sometimes findings: Macrocephaly, Rod-cone dystrophy, Delayed speech and language development, and Seizure and others.
