Differentiating Alstrom syndrome from other Diseases
Alstrom syndrome is a ciliopathy. It should be differentiated from the following disorders:
- Bardet-Biedl syndrome: Alstrom syndrome is sometimes confused with Bardet-Biedl syndrome, which has similar symptoms. Bardet-Biedl syndrome tends to have later onset in its symptoms. Other ciliopathies that should be differentiated from Alstrom syndrome include:
- Primary ciliary dyskinesia
- Polycystic kidney disease
- Polycystic liver disease
- Nephronophthisis
- Meckel-Gruber syndrome
- Biemond II syndrome
- Wolfram syndrome
- Cohen syndrome
- Sporadic infantile DCM
- Mitochondrial disorders
- Some forms of retinal degeneration[1]
