Could you have undiagnosed cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX)?
With an earlier diagnosis, people with CTX may have better outcomes.
You or your loved one are not alone. Your unexplained symptoms, which could include early cataracts in both eyes, neurological problems, tendon xanthomas (noncancerous fatty tumors on the tendons), cholestasis (which may be seen as jaundice in infants), and/or frequent diarrhea, may be due to a rare condition called cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX). CTX can cause problems in several systems of the body and affect each person differently. People with CTX often do not realize that the different signs and symptoms may be associated with the same condition.
Discover what CTX is, what the common signs and symptoms are, and how a healthcare professional may be able to diagnose CTX with a no-cost genetic panel if they think you, or your loved one, may have CTX.
If you or a loved one could have CTX, talk to your doctor about getting a diagnosis. Mirum offers 2 different no-cost genetic panels* that can help confirm a CTX diagnosis. Your doctor can decide which panel is most appropriate.
