Alexander disease: a novel mutation in the glial fibrillary acidic protein gene with initial uncommon clinical and magnetic resonance imaging findings.

Abstract excerpt

Alexander disease (AxD) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder related to mutations in the glial fibrillary acidic protein gene. We report the case of a child with disease onset at the age of 3 months and a novel mutation in the glial fibrillary acidic protein gene. Peculiar aspects were initially atypical clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings, which became typical during follow-up. The child was...
