Hepatoencephalomyelopathy

Hepatoencephalomyalopathy is a genetic disease that affects the brain and liver simultaneously. It is characterized by the presence of a characteristic symptom: patients see scenes of violence or sexually explicit images and hear various sounds such as music, talking or crying. A distinctive feature of the disease is that it leads to serious changes in people's behavior, compromising their self-control and adequacy. For patients, hepatoencephalomyolopathy is the only genetic syndrome in the world. The disease can be prevented if its genetic form is detected early.

The disease was diagnosed in 2013 by scientists in Barcelona (Spain), although the symptoms were known as early as 1985. Sometimes the disease occurs as a result of a mutation in the dopamine D4 receptor gene, but the exact cause is unknown, just as the exact etymology of many symptoms is unclear: there is not a single similar case for each of them.
