MACROCEPHALY-INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY-AUTISM SYNDROME
Description
A rare, genetic, neurological disease characterized by association of macrocephaly, dysmorphic facial features and psychomotor delay leading to intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorder. Facial dysmorphism may include frontal bossing, hypertelorism, midface hypoplasia, depressed nasal bridge, short nose, and long philtrum.
Most common symptoms of MACROCEPHALY-INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY-AUTISM SYNDROME
- Intellectual disability
- Global developmental delay
- Hypertelorism
- Neoplasm
- Depressed nasal bridge

MEGALENCEPHALIC LEUKOENCEPHALOPATHY WITH SUBCORTICAL CYSTS
Alternate names
MEGALENCEPHALIC LEUKOENCEPHALOPATHY WITH SUBCORTICAL CYSTS Is also known as mlc, megalencephaly-cystic leukodystrophy syndrome, van der knaap disease, vl, vacuolating megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts, van der knaap syndrome, lvm, megalencephalic leukodystrophy, leukoencephalopathy with swelling and cysts
Description
Megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts (MLC) is a form of leukodystrophy that is characterized by infantile-onset macrocephaly, often with mild neurologic signs at presentation (such as mild motor delay), which worsen with time, leading to poor ambulation, falls, ataxia, spasticity, increasing seizures and cognitive decline. Brain magnetic resonance imaging reveals diffusely abnormal and mildly swollen white matter as well as subcortical cysts in the anterior temporal and frontoparietal regions.
Most common symptoms of MEGALENCEPHALIC LEUKOENCEPHALOPATHY WITH SUBCORTICAL CYSTS
- Seizures
- Ataxia
- Spasticity
- Delayed speech and language development
- Motor delay

MEGALENCEPHALIC LEUKOENCEPHALOPATHY WITH SUBCORTICAL CYSTS 2B, REMITTING, WITH OR WITHOUT MENTAL RETARDATION; MLC2B
Description
Autosomal dominant remitting MLC2B is characterized by infantile-onset of macrocephaly and mildly delayed motor development associated with white matter abnormalities on brain MRI that improve with age. As children, some patients have mild residual hypotonia or clumsiness, but otherwise have no residual motor abnormalities. About 40% of patients have mental retardation (summary by van der Knaap et al., 2010 and Lopez-Hernandez et al., 2011).Homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in the HEPACAM gene can cause a more severe and progressive disorder associated with ataxia, spasticity, and mental retardation (MLC2A ).For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts, see MLC1 (OMIM ).
Most common symptoms of MEGALENCEPHALIC LEUKOENCEPHALOPATHY WITH SUBCORTICAL CYSTS 2B, REMITTING, WITH OR WITHOUT MENTAL RETARDATION; MLC2B
- Intellectual disability
- Generalized hypotonia
- Ataxia
- Spasticity
- Motor delay

MEGALENCEPHALIC LEUKOENCEPHALOPATHY WITH SUBCORTICAL CYSTS 2A; MLC2A
Description
Megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts-2A is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by infantile-onset macrocephaly and later onset of motor deterioration, with ataxia and spasticity, seizures, and cognitive decline of variable severity. Brain MRI shows typical white matter abnormalities, including swelling of the cerebral white matter and subcortical cysts, in all stages of the disease (summary by Lopez-Hernandez et al., 2011).Heterozygous mutations in the HEPACAM gene can cause a similar, but less severe disorder that shows improvement of MRI changes with age (MLC2B ).
Most common symptoms of MEGALENCEPHALIC LEUKOENCEPHALOPATHY WITH SUBCORTICAL CYSTS 2A; MLC2A
- Intellectual disability
- Seizures
- Ataxia
- Spasticity
- Motor delay
