When a child is diagnosed with a rare and complex neurological condition, the emotional and medical challenges can feel overwhelming. At the Child Development Center (CDC) in Dubai, we understand the journey families face and are committed to offering expert, compassionate care tailored to the needs of children living with neurogenetic and neurometabolic disorders.
Understanding Neurogenetic and Neurometabolic Conditions
These rare conditions often appear early in life and can significantly impact a child’s brain function, growth, and development. At CDC, we specialize in identifying and managing these disorders through a collaborative, child-centered approach.
What Are Neurometabolic Disorders?
Neurometabolic disorders are caused by inherited enzyme deficiencies that affect the body’s ability to produce or break down essential compounds for brain health. These conditions can interfere with metabolism and lead to progressive neurological symptoms.
Common neurometabolic conditions include:
- Phenylketonuria (PKU)
- Mitochondrial disorders
- Lysosomal storage diseases
Children affected may experience:
- Developmental delays
- Poor growth or weight gain
- Muscle weakness and coordination issues
- Seizures
- Vision or hearing problems
- Unusual head size or growth patterns
What Are Neurogenetic Disorders?
Neurogenetic disorders are caused by genetic mutations—either inherited or spontaneous—that impact how the nervous system forms and functions.
Examples include:
- Rett Syndrome
- Fragile X Syndrome
- Leukodystrophies
Children with these conditions may show:
- Intellectual or learning disabilities
- Behavioral and emotional difficulties
- Loss of previously acquired skills
- Muscle stiffness or weakness
- Recurrent seizures or epilepsy
