Additional Information:

Description: (OMIM) Hypomyelinating leukodystrophy-7 is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by childhood onset of progressive motor decline manifest as spasticity, ataxia, tremor, and cerebellar signs, as well as mild cognitive regression. Other features may include hypodontia or oligodontia and ...
Clinical Description OMIM In an inbred Syrian pedigree, Atrouni et al. (2003) described oligodontia in association with a degenerative neurologic condition characterized by progressive ataxia and pyramidal syndrome. Age at onset was about 12 years. Abnormalities in the white matter and ...
Molecular genetics OMIM By narrowing the candidate disease locus followed by direct sequencing of the genes in the refined 2.99-Mb interval in several families with hypomyelinating leukodystrophy mapping to chromosome 10q22, Bernard et al. (2011) identified 14 different mutations in the ...
