Leukodystrophies and Genetic Leukoencephalopathies in Children Specified by Exome Sequencing in an Expanded Gene Panel

Journal of Child Neurology, 2020
The overlapping clinical and neuroimaging phenotypes of leukodystrophies pose a diagnostic challenge to both clinicians and researchers alike. Studies on the application of exome sequencing in the diagnosis of leukodystrophies are emerging. We used targeted gene panel sequencing of 6440 genes to investigate the genetic etiology in a cohort of 50 ...

Leukodystrophy or genetic leukoencephalopathy? Nature does not make leaps

Molecular Genetics and Metabolism, 2015
The importance of classification was first recognized by Aristotle of caused by mutations in the ABCD1 gene that is variably expressed in Stagira, the great Greek philosopher who proposed rigorous classifications in literally every area of human knowledge. Classifications are indispensable for language and convenient for our ordinary mental operations [

Adult-Onset Genetic Leukoencephalopathies. Focus on the More Recently Defined Forms

Current Molecular Medicine, 2014
Inherited white matter (WM) disorders include a heterogenous group of disorders affecting brain white matter and associated with myelin, axonal and glial cells or vascular pathology. Often a wide range of overlapping neurological manifestations possibly associated with variable systemic involvement are found in these disorders making clinical diagnosis

Hereditary diffuse leukoencephalopathy with axonal spheroids (HDLS): update on molecular genetics

Neurological Sciences, 2016
Hereditary diffuse leukoencephalopathy with spheroids (HDLS) is a rare autosomal dominant disease characterized by giant neuroaxonal swellings (spheroids) within the cerebral white matter (WM). Symptoms are variable and can include cognitive, mental and motor dysfunctions.

Hereditary diffuse leukoencephalopathy with spheroids: clinical, pathologic and genetic studies of a new kindred

Acta Neuropathologica, 2006
Hereditary diffuse leukoencephalopathy with spheroids (HDLS) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by cerebral white matter degeneration with axonal spheroids leading to progressive cognitive and motor dysfunction. We report clinical and pathological features, as well as molecular genetic analysis, of a family with HDLS.

Clinical, Neuroimaging, and Genetic Characteristics of Megalencephalic Leukoencephalopathy With Subcortical Cysts in Egyptian Patients

Pediatric Neurology, 2014
Megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts (MLC) is a rare and genetically heterogeneous cerebral white matter disease. Clinically, it is characterized by macrocephaly, developmental delay, and seizures. We explore the clinical spectrum, neuroimaging characteristics, and gene involvement in the first patients with megalencephalic ...

Confirmation of a Rare Genetic Leukoencephalopathy due to a Novel Bi-allelic Variant in RPIA

European Journal of Medical Genetics, 2019
Ribose 5-phosphate isomerase deficiency is a rare genetic leukoencephalopathy caused by pathogenic sequence variants in RPIA, that encodes ribose 5-phosphate isomerase, an enzyme in the pentose phosphate pathway. Till date, only three individuals with ribose 5-phosphate isomerase deficiency have been described in literature. We report on a subject with

[Genetic changes possibly associated with progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy].

Brain and nerve = Shinkei kenkyu no shinpo, 2007
Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a fetal demyelinating disease in the central nervous system. PML was once a rare disease, but it is now relatively common among AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) patients. The immunological state of patients mainly contributes to the pathogenesis of PML.
