Abstract excerpt
AIM: The aim of the study was to identify the genetic background for Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome (AGS) in the Faroe Islands. METHODS: Four patients with AGS were identified. The patients had a variable phenotype, from a severe prenatal form with intrauterine foetal death to a milder phenotype, albeit still with an early onset, within the first 2-3 months. RESULTS: A genome-wide search for homozygosity revealed one...
