Alternative Names: Familial dysautonomia; Hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy - type III Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Riley-Day syndrome is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait that is found predominantly in the European Jewish population (Ashkenazi Jews). The disease is caused by mutation of the IKBKAP gene on chromosome 9. It is not rare in Ashkenazi Jews where the incidence is estimated to be 1 in 3700 people. Infants with this condition have feeding problems and develop pneumonia caused by inhalation of their formula and food. Episodic vomiting and sweating spells begin following infancy. Young children also have breath-holding spells that produce unconsciousness Insensitivity to pain is a hallmark of Riley-Day syndrome and leads to unnoticed injuries or injuries that might not have occurred had the child sensed discomfort. Children do not feel the normal sensations that generally warn of impending injury such as drying of the eyes, pressure over pressure points, and

It is found predominantly in people of European Jewish descent (Ashkenazi Jews). The disease is caused by mutation of the IKBKAP gene on chromosome 9. It is rare in the general population, but not amongst Ashkenazi Jews, where the incidence is estimated to be 1 in 3,700 people. Infants with this condition have feeding problems and develop pneumonia caused by breathing their formula and food into their airways.

In May, 2003, researchers at Fordham University's Laboratory for Familial Dysautonomia Research, Drs. Berish Rubin and Sylvia Anderson, reported that a variant of Vitamin E, tocotrienols, improves FD gene function. For some families, tocotrienols have been nothing short of a miracle: ending crisis, causing the return of tears, and improving stamina.

It is found predominantly in people of European Jewish descent (Ashkenazi Jews). The disease is caused by mutation of the IKBKAP gene on chromosome 9. It is rare in the general population, but not amongst Ashkenazi Jews, where the incidence is estimated to be 1 in 3,700 people. Infants with this condition have feeding problems and develop pneumonia caused by breathing their formula and food into their airways. Vomiting and sweating spells begin as the infant matures. Young children may also have breath-holding spells that produce unconsciousness, since they can hold their breath for long enough to pass out without feeling the discomfort that normal children would. A hallmark of Riley-Day syndrome is insensitivity to pain. This leads to unnoticed injuries or injuries that might not have occurred had the child sensed discomfort. Children do not feel the normal sensations that generally warn of impending injury, such as drying of the eyes, pressure over pressure points, and chronic rubbing and chaffing. Bone and skin pain, including burns, are also poorly perceived. However, they can feel visceral pain, like menstrual cramps.

Prevention Riley-Day syndrome Alternative Names: Familial dysautonomia; Hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy - type III Treatment: Protection from injury is critical. Problems are treated as they occur, including treatment of aspiration pneumonia , anticonvulsant therapy if seizures are present, and liquid tears and bethanechol to prevent drying of eyes. Anti-emetics may be used to control vomiting . Postural hypotension can be managed with increased fluid and salt intake, caffeine, and waist-high elastic stockings. An annual spine exam is needed to monitor for scoliosis, which can be treated with braces or surgery. Support Groups: Additional resources are available from Familial Dysautonomia Hope.
