Journal ArticleDOI

Subunits of the translation initiation factor eIF2B are mutant in leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identified mutations in EIF2B5, encoding the ǫ-and β-subunits of the translation initiation factor eIF2b and located on chromosomes 3q27 and 14q24, respectively, as causing leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter (VWM).
Journal ArticleDOI

Mutations in each of the five subunits of translation initiation factor eIF2B can cause leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter.

TL;DR: In this paper, mutations in genes encoding the epsilon- or the beta-subunit of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor eIF2B, a complex consisting of five subunits, cause the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plasma very long chain fatty acids in 3,000 peroxisome disease patients and 29,000 controls

TL;DR: VLCFA levels were increased in all patients homozygous for Zellweger syndrome, neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy, infantile Refsum's disease, and in patients with deficiencies of peroxisomal acyl‐coenzyme A oxidase, bifunctional enzyme, and 3‐oxoacyl‐coENzyme A thiolase.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phenotype of patients with peroxisomal disorders subdivided into sixteen complementation groups

TL;DR: At least 16 complementation groups, and hence genotypes, are associated with clinical manifestations of disorders of peroxisome assembly, including the Zellweger syndrome, neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy, infantile Refsum disease, and rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neuroanatomy of Rett syndrome: a volumetric imaging study.

TL;DR: The neuroanatomy of 11 females with Rett syndrome and 15 age‐ and gender‐matched control subjects ws investigated in vivo with quantitative neuroimaging techniques, finding significantly reduced cerebral volume; evidence of greater loss of gray matter in comparison to white matter; and reduced volume of the caudate nucleus and midbrain.
