Abstract
- Abstract: For neurological disorders we consider every possible affection of the central nervous system or neuro-muscular junction, in the presence of complex syndromes as well, such as Cornelia De Lange syndrome or any other. In our experience the incidence of neurological or neuromuscular envolment in patients affected by noncompaction is low. An incidence of comorbidities higher than 20% is not recorded in any centre, in published experiences. Data of the Vienna group could be likely influenced by selection bias (second level centre) or territorial genetic factors, or could depend on higher sensibility of used diagnostic techniques of neurological disease. But, if it was so, in our opinion, let me assert that patients routinely underwent so sensible and accurate neurological tests only for cognitive purpose, without practical implications.
