Alexander Disease

About the Disease
Alexander Disease, also known as alexander's disease, is related to leukodystrophy and multiple system atrophy 1, and has symptoms including muscle spasticity and seizures. An important gene associated with Alexander Disease is GFAP (Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein), and among its related pathways/superpathways are Signaling by Receptor Tyrosine Kinases and Neuroscience. The drug Metronidazole has been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include brain, spinal cord and eye, and related phenotypes are macrocephaly and intellectual disability
