C11ORF73-RELATED AUTOSOMAL RECESSIVE HYPOMYELINATING LEUKODYSTROPHY

Alternate names

C11ORF73-RELATED AUTOSOMAL RECESSIVE HYPOMYELINATING LEUKODYSTROPHY Is also known as c11orf73-related autosomal recessive hypomyelinating leukoencephalopathy, hypomyelinating leukodystrophy due to hikeshi deficiency

Description

Hypomyelinating leukodystrophy-13 is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by infantile onset of delayed psychomotor development, axial hypotonia, and spasticity associated with delayed myelination and periventricular white matter abnormalities on brain imaging. More variable neurologic deficits, such as visual impairment, may also occur. Some patients may experience cardiac failure during acute illness (summary by Edvardson et al., 2016).For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of HLD, see {312080}.

Most common symptoms of C11ORF73-RELATED AUTOSOMAL RECESSIVE HYPOMYELINATING LEUKODYSTROPHY

  • Global developmental delay
  • Generalized hypotonia
  • Ataxia
  • Nystagmus
  • Failure to thrive
