Overview
Flynn-Aird Syndrome is a rare, autosomal dominant, hereditary degenerative neurological disorder characterized by early-onset dementia, ataxia, muscle wasting, skin atrophy, and eye abnormalities. It may cause cataracts, retinitis pigmentosa, myopia, dental caries, peripheral neuropathy, deafness, and cystic bone changes. It was first identified in the 1950s by American neurologists P. Flynn and Robert B. Aird.
