This rare disease occurs in about one in 100,000 people. Some people with this disorder may experience a temporary symptomatic improvement and a slight slowing of the progression of the disease. 1999 Feb;83(2):190-3. doi: Ann Neurol. The mutation leads to depletion of mitochondrial DNA and mitochondrial dysregulation. Other potentially helpful tests that can help delineate NARP from other disorders include a complete blood count, urinalysis, and lumbar puncture. Nevertheless, this time, the cerebrospinal fluid analysis showed a slight increase in lactate levels. The MT-ATP6 protein forms one part (subunit) of an enzyme called ATP synthase, which is responsible for the last step in ATP production. Retinopathy of NARP Syndrome. In: Adam MP, Everman DB, Mirzaa GM, The complications that may arise include: Currently, there is no cure for Neuropathy, Ataxia, and Retinitis Pigmentosa. ATPase 6 gene: a clinical, biochemical, and molecular study in six families. The risk to have a child who is a carrier like the parents is 50 percent with each pregnancy. Also, not having a risk factor does not mean that an individual will not get the condition. 69-73). Schiff M, Min M, Brivet M, et al.

Neuropathy, Ataxia, and Retinitis Pigmentosa is a progressive and irreversible disorder. Treatment Because the condition is due to a nDNA mutation, the abnormal gene can be inherited from either parent, or can be the result of a new nDNA mutation in the affected individual. Neuropathy, ataxia, and retinitis pigmentosa (NARP) is a condition that causes a variety of signs and symptoms that mainly affect the nervous system. Additional late symptoms may include partial paralysis and involuntary muscle movements (spastic paresis), sudden muscle spasms (clonic jerks), grand mal seizures, and/or varying degrees of dementia.
