A recent study conducted at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia examined the acquisition and loss of developmental milestones in Alexander disease, a hereditary central nervous system disorder. The study found that developmental milestones in Alexander disease were often achieved but delayed, with ambulation being achieved in 86% of patients. The earliest and most prevalent symptom was developmental delay, followed by seizures and macrocephaly. The study concluded that clinicians should consider Alexander disease in patients with mild delays and a first seizure, even if they do not exhibit the clinical triad of symptoms.
