RIC1

Management

Currently, there is no known cure for an RIC1-related disorder. Treatment of the manifestations, symptom management, and supportive care are recommended.

Managing CATIFA syndrome involves regular check-ups with a primary doctor and consultations with specialists, including pediatricians, geneticists, dentists, orthodontists, speech therapists, occupational therapists, and physical therapists. Educational support through special education programs and individualized plans is essential. Behavioral therapy can help manage ADHD and other challenges, while regular eye check-ups address vision problems. Physical therapy can improve movement and coordination, and a sleep specialist can assist with sleep issues. For those with asthma, a pulmonologist can develop a management plan. Emotional and social support through counseling and support groups is also beneficial for both the child and family. These comprehensive care options ensure that children with CATIFA syndrome receive tailored support for their unique needs.
