Snyder-Robinson syndrome presents with a range of symptoms, primarily affecting skeletal structure and gait.
Here's a breakdown of the key symptoms:
-
Difficulty Walking & Unsteady Gait: Individuals with Snyder-Robinson syndrome often experience problems with their ability to walk steadily.
-
Skeletal Problems & Osteoporosis: A significant feature of this syndrome is the development of osteoporosis, a condition characterized by thinning of the bones. This typically begins in early childhood.
- Osteoporosis leads to brittle bones that are prone to fractures, even during normal, everyday activities.
In summary, Robinson syndrome primarily affects the skeletal system leading to osteoporosis and subsequent walking difficulties due to an unsteady gait.
