The dysequilibrium syndrome: a study of the etiology and pathogenesis
Abstract:
The optimality of prenatal and perinatal conditions, serum levels of radioreceptor-assayable somatomedins and activity of catechol-0-methyltransferase in erythrocytes were examined in 13 dysequilibrium (DES) patients. No differences from normal controls were found. As a group, the DES patients were not more exposed to non-optimal prenatal and perinatal events than healthy controls. No association between DES and somatomedin levels or between DES and catechol-0-methyltransferase activity was demonstrated.
