Moynahan syndrome

Moynahan syndrome is a rare inherited condition that affects various parts of the body. It is defined as a Mendelian condition, meaning it is passed down through families in a predictable pattern. People with this condition may experience hair loss from birth (congenital alopecia), early-onset seizures, problems with learning (intellectual disability), and delays in speech development. In addition, the syndrome has been associated with larger body stature, delayed bone development, and changes in brain activity as seen on an electroencephalogram (EEG). This summary is based on the definition and classification information available from trusted medical sources.

Common features of Moynahan syndrome include congenital alopecia (hair loss from birth), early-onset epilepsy (seizures starting at a young age), intellectual disability, and speech delays. Some individuals may also have physical signs such as larger stature, delayed bone development, and abnormal EEG findings.

Moynahan syndrome is a Mendelian disorder, which means it is caused by changes in genes that can be passed from parents to children. However, specific genetic mutations or risk factors have not been detailed in the available information.
