Leukodystrophy, Hypomyelinating, 8, With Or Without Oligodontia And/or Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism; Hld8

Description

Hypomyelinating leukodystrophy-8 is an autosomal recessive neurologic disorder characterized by early childhood onset of cerebellar ataxia and mild intellectual disabilities associated with diffuse hypomyelination apparent on brain MRI. Variable features include oligodontia and/or hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (summary by Tetreault et al., 2011).See also HLD7 (OMIM ), which has similar features and is caused by mutation in the POLR3A gene (OMIM ) on chromosome 10q22. The POLR3A and POLR3B genes encode the 2 largest subunits of RNA polymerase III.For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of hypomyelinating leukodystrophy, see {312080}.
