Descripción
Autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia, deafness, and narcolepsy (ADCADN) is a nervous system disorder with signs and symptoms that usually begin in mid-adulthood and gradually get worse.
People with ADCADN have difficulty coordinating movements (ataxia) and mild to moderate hearing loss caused by abnormalities of the inner ear (sensorineural deafness). Most have excessive daytime sleepiness (narcolepsy). Narcolepsy is typically accompanied by cataplexy, which is a sudden brief loss of muscle tone in response to strong emotion (such as excitement, surprise, or anger). These episodes of muscle weakness can cause an affected person to slump over or fall, which occasionally leads to injury. These characteristic signs and symptoms of ADCADN typically begin in a person's thirties.
Eventually, people with ADCADN also experience a decline of intellectual function (dementia). The cognitive problems often begin with impairment of executive function, which is the ability to plan and implement actions and develop problem-solving strategies. Other features that can occur as the condition worsens include degeneration of the nerves that carry information from the eyes to the brain (optic atrophy); clouding of the lenses of the eyes (cataracts); numbness, tingling, or pain in the arms and legs (sensory neuropathy); puffiness or swelling (lymphedema) of the limbs; an inability to control the bowels or the flow of urine (incontinence); depression; uncontrollable crying or laughing (pseudobulbar signs); or a distorted view of reality (psychosis). Affected individuals usually survive into their forties or fifties.

Síndrome de Marfan
Síndrome de Marfan (named after Dr Antoine Marfan, the French doctor who first described it in 1896) is a genetic disorder which people are born with and which lasts lifelong. If you have Marfan syndrome, you have a 50:50 chance of passing on the condition to each of your children. It is an autosomal dominant condition, meaning you only need one.

Narcolepsia y cataplejía
Narcolepsy is a long-term (chronic) problem that affects your sleep. Many people with narcolepsy also have cataplexy. Narcolepsy is usually diagnosed by monitoring you while you sleep in a special sleep laboratory. If you have narcolepsy, your sleep-wake cycle is disrupted. It has been suggested that narcolepsy with cataplexy is a type of.

Enfermedad de Huntington
Enfermedad de Huntington es a genetically inherited condition that causes parts of the brain and nervous system a stop working properly over time. It is a slowly progressive condition that interferes with the movements of your body, thinking and judgement, and can lead to a change in your behaviour. Huntington's disease is an autosomal dominant.

Porfiria
El porphyrias are a group of disorders in which there is a problem with the production of haem (also spelled heme) within the body. There are seven different types of porphyria and in most cases they run in families (are inherited). Most types of inherited porphyria are passed on in families through what is called autosomal dominante inheritance..

Escala de somnolencia de Epworth
The Epworth Sleepiness Scale is a simple questionnaire designed to measure your general level of daytime sleepiness. Healthcare professionals often use this tool to help identify sleep disorders, como obstructive sleep apnoea or narcolepsy. Feeling excessively sleepy during the day can be caused by a range of issues, including: Poor sleep.
