Genetic testing of leukodystrophies unraveling extensive heterogeneity in a large cohort and report of five common diseases and 38 novel variants

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
This study evaluates the genetic spectrum of leukodystrophies and leukoencephalopathies in Iran. 152 children, aged from 1 day to 15 years, were genetically tested for leukodystrophies and leukoencephalopathies based on clinical and neuroradiological ...

Case Report: Mutation in AIMP2/P38, the Scaffold for the Multi-Trna Synthetase Complex, and Association With Progressive Neurodevelopmental Disorders

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2022
Background: Leukodystrophies constitute a heterogeneous group of inherited disorders primarily affecting the white matter of the central nervous system. Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (ARSs) catalyze the attachment of an amino acids to their cognate transfer

Leukodystrophy in Tanzania: A Case Study Highlighting Diagnostic Dilemmas and Clinical Implications [PDF]

open access: yesClin Case Rep
ABSTRACT Leukodystrophies are rare inherited neurodegenerative disorders characterized by progressive white matter dysfunction and neurological decline. In low‐resource settings, limited access to advanced neuroimaging, biochemical investigations, and genetic testing often delays diagnosis and complicates differentiation from more common infectious ...

Leukodystrophies: clinical and therapeutic aspects [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
This chapter reviews that leukodystrophies is a genetic diseases that occur in early childhood. It is a possibility that leads to screening for leukodystrophy patients with early-onset dementia of unknown origin or atypical psychiatric symptoms.

Advances and Pitfalls of Cell Therapy in Metabolic Leukodystrophies

open access: yesCell Transplantation, 2013
Leukodystrophies are a group of disorders characterized by myelin dysfunction, either at the level of myelin formation or maintenance, that affect the central nervous system (CNS) and also in some cases, to a lesser extent, the peripheral nervous system (

Case Report: A Novel EIF2B3 Pathogenic Variant in Central Nervous System Hypomyelination/Vanishing White Matter

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2022
Leukodystrophies are a group of heterogeneous disorders affecting brain myelin. Among those, childhood ataxia with central nervous system hypomyelination/vanishing white matter (CACH/VWM) is one of the more common inherited leukodystrophies.

Selected leukodystrophies

open access: yesSeminars in Pediatric Neurology, 1995
The clinicopathologic profiles of the major leukodystrophies (adreno-leukodystrophy, metachromatic leukodystrophy, globoid cell leukodystrophy or Krabbe's disease, Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease, and spongy degeneration of infancy or Canavan's disease) are reviewed.

Canavan Disease as a Model for Gene Therapy-Mediated Myelin Repair

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2021
In recent years, the scientific and therapeutic fields for rare, genetic central nervous system (CNS) diseases such as leukodystrophies, or white matter disorders, have expanded significantly in part due to technological advancements in cellular and ...

Astroglia in Leukodystrophies

open access: yes, 2019
Leukodystrophies are genetically determined disorders affecting the white matter of the central nervous system. The combination of MRI pattern recognition and next-generation sequencing for the definition of novel disease entities has recently demonstrated that many leukodystrophies are due to the primary involvement and/or mutations in genes ...
