Dublin, Jan. 15, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Cerebrotendinous Xanthomatosis Forecast in 18 Major Markets 2017-2027" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

This report provides the current prevalent population for CTX across 18 Major Markets (USA, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK, Japan, Russia, Brazil, Poland, Austria, The Netherlands, Turkey, India, China, Mexico, Argentina) split by gender and 5-year age cohort. Along with the current prevalence, the report also contains a disease overview of the risk factors, disease diagnosis and prognosis along with specific variations by geography and ethnicity.

Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is a rare autosomal recessive lipid storage disease caused by mutations in the CYP27A1 gene encoding a cytochrome P450 oxidase, also known as sterol 27-hydroxylase. The lack of the functional enzyme results in a reduced production of chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) and cholic acid (CA), components of bile, as well as accumulation of cholestanol and cholesterol in different tissues, e.g., brain, tendons, lenses, bones and vessels. No genotype-phenotype correlations have been identified, and the phenotypic manifestation can vary even between identical twins.

Providing a value-added level of insight, several of the main symptoms and co-morbidities of CTX have been quantified and presented alongside the overall prevalence figures. These sub-populations within the main disease are also included at a country level across the 10-year forecast snapshot.

Main symptoms and co-morbidities for CTX include:

  • Chronic diarrhoea
  • Developmental cataracts
  • Tendon xanthomas
  • Seizures
  • Intellectual impairment
  • Osteoporosis
