2

Serial Organ System Surveillance

Structured monitoring protocol for kidneys, liver, brain, and skeletal system given the pleiotropic effects of IFT74 mutations. Includes periodic laboratory studies and imaging to detect progressive abnormalities.

3

Targeted Symptom Management

Pharmacological intervention for specific manifestations such as growth hormone deficiency, hypothyroidism, or renal dysfunction. Regular medication review ensures optimal dosing as patients mature.

Additional treatment options

Nutritional Support and Growth Optimization

Comprehensive nutritional assessment and intervention to address growth failure and ensure adequate caloric and micronutrient intake. May include specialized formulas or tube feeding support when oral intake is insufficient.

dietary

Musculoskeletal Intervention Program

Physical therapy focusing on skeletal manifestations including limb abnormalities, joint contractures, and mobility limitations. Includes strengthening, stretching, and adaptive equipment recommendations.
