Epilepsy in vacuolating megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts
Vacuolating megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts (MLC) is a disorder characterised by acquired macrocephaly, developmental motor delay of varying degrees, slowly progressive cerebellar and pyramidal signs, and initially preserved intellectual function. More than 60% of the published cases had epileptic seizures. In this study, we analysed the seizures and EEG findings of n...

متن کاملFunctional Studies of MLC1 Mutations in Chinese Patients with Megalencephalic Leukoencephalopathy with Subcortical Cysts
Megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts (MLC, MIM# 604004) is an autosomal recessive inherited disease mostly resulting from MLC1 mutations. In this study, we finished the functional analysis of MLC1 mutations identified recently in Chinese patients, including five newly described missense mutations (R22Q, A32V, G73E, A275T, Y278H), one known nonsense mutation (Y198X), and tw...
متن کاملMolecular prenatal diagnosis of megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts in a child from southwest of Iran
Megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy (MLC) is a rare neurological disorder with an autosomal recessive pattern. Clinical diagnosis was based on macrocephaly, recurrent seizure, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Here we report first finding of a novel homozygous single base deletion in the MLC1 gene in an affected Iranian child causing a premature stop codon (p.L150fs.160X).
متن کاملTeaching neuroimages: Resolution of MRI abnormalities in megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts.
A boy was diagnosed at age 10 months with megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts (MLC) based on progressive macrocephaly and characteristic MRI findings (figure, A–C). Over subsequent years, initial motor delays resolved and neurobehavioral difficulties were mild. On repeat MRI at 6 years (figure, D–F), only small areas of frontal and temporal white matter signal alteration ...
