Sponsored diagnostic testing programs for Alström Syndrome
Alström syndrome is a rare, inherited multisystem disorder caused by pathogenic variants in ALMS1. It often begins in childhood with progressive vision loss, sensorineural hearing impairment, severe insulin resistance, and early-onset obesity. Over time, many individuals develop cardiomyopathy, type 2 diabetes, hepatic dysfunction, and kidney disease, making early recognition and genetic diagnosis important for management and monitoring.
