摘要

Sturge-Weber Syndrome (SWS) is a congenital neurovascular disorder caused by a somatic mosaic mutation in the R183Q GNAQ gene and characterized by capillary-venous malformations of the brain, skin, and eyes. Clinical manifestations include facial port-wine birthmark, glaucoma, seizures, headache or migraine, hemiparesis, stroke or stroke-like episodes, developmental delay, behavioral problems, and hormonal deficiencies. SWS requires careful monitoring, management, and early identification to improve outcome and prevent neurological deterioration. Over the last 25 years, biomarkers have been developed to improve early diagnosis and prognosis and allow for the monitoring of clinical status and treatment response. Importantly, advancements in biomarker research may enable presymptomatic treatment for infants with SWS. This review summarizes current, ongoing, and potential future SWS biomarker studies. These biomarkers, in combination with clinical data, offer a rich source of data for rare disease research leveraging machine learning in future research.
