Intellectual disability-alacrima-achalasia syndrome is a rare, genetic intellectual disability syndrome characterized by delayed motor and cognitive development, absence or severe delay in speech development, intellectual disability, and alacrima. Achalasia/dysphagia and mild autonomic dysfunction (i.e. anisocoria) have also been reported in some patients. The phenotype is similar to the one observed in autosomal recessive Triple A syndrome, but differs by the presence of intellectual disability in all affected individuals.
Features include very common findings: Absent speech, Global developmental delay, Motor delay, and Intellectual disability and others; and common findings: Anisocoria, Achalasia, and Strabismus. 16 total HPO annotations.
