choline acetyltransferase deficiency
cho·line ac·e·tyl·trans·fer·ase de·fi·cien·cy (koґlēn as″ə-tēl-transґfər-ās) a congenital autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutation in the CHAT gene (locus: 10q11.2), which encodes choline O-acetyltransferase; it is characterized by generalized hypotonia that is present at birth, repeated episodes of life-threatening apnea, feeding difficulty, varying degrees of ophthalmoparesis, and occasionally arthrogryposis; symptoms often improve with age. Called also familial infantile myasthenia gravis.
