Management

There is no cureyet and treatment focuses on managing symptoms and supporting the child’s development.

Possible treatments and supports:
•    Medications to help control seizures
•    Physical therapy to help with muscle stiffness and movement
•    Feeding support, including feeding tubes if needed
•    Regular kidney check-ups; dialysis or transplant when required (mainly in GAMOS6)
•    Vision support services
•    Early intervention (speech, occupational therapy, physical therapy)
•    Special education support
•    Support for families caring for a child with complex medical needs

A team of specialists—such as neurologists, nephrologists, geneticists, and therapists—usually works together to provide care.
