Oshtoran syndrome

Oshtoran syndrome is a rare heritable neurological disorder with other organ systems involved as well, especially the liver, and the sympathetic nervous system. Patients suffering of Oshtoran syndrome present symptoms affecting their cognitive functioning, psychiatric health, movement control, liver (fatty infiltration, hyperplastic nodules), fat metabolism, abnormal adrenal gland functioning and other issues which are caused by disturbed signalling functions in the nervous and other systems due to functional changes in a part of the immune system connected to a kynurenine pathway dysfunction.
