Encephalopathy Due To Defective Mitochondrial And Peroxisomal Fission 2; Empf2

Description

Encephalopathy due to defective mitochondrial and peroxisomal fission-2 is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by delayed psychomotor development, severe hypotonia with inability to walk, microcephaly, and abnormal signals in the basal ganglia. More variable features include early-onset seizures, optic atrophy, and peripheral neuropathy (summary by Koch et al., 2016).For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of EMPF, see EMPF1 (OMIM ).
