PLAA-ASSOCIATED NEURODEVELOPMENTAL DISORDER

Alternate names

PLAA-ASSOCIATED NEURODEVELOPMENTAL DISORDER Is also known as plaand

Description

NDMSBA is an autosomal recessive neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by infantile onset of progressive microcephaly and spasticity and severe global developmental delay resulting in profound mental retardation and severely impaired or absent motor function. More variable features include seizures and optic atrophy. Brain imaging may show myelinating abnormalities and white matter lesions consistent with a leukoencephalopathy, as well as structural anomalies, including thin corpus callosum, gyral abnormalities, and cerebral or cerebellar atrophy. Some patients die in early childhood (summary by Falik Zaccai et al., 2017 and Hall et al., 2017).

Most common symptoms of PLAA-ASSOCIATED NEURODEVELOPMENTAL DISORDER

  • Intellectual disability
  • Seizures
  • Global developmental delay
  • Generalized hypotonia
  • Microcephaly
