Abstract excerpt
Leukoencephalopathies are heterogeneous entities with white matter abnormalities. Mutations of the gene encoding hepatic and glial cell adhesion molecule (HEPACAM) located on 11q24 are related to one of the leukoencephalopathies: megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts type 2 (MLC2). Genomic copy number aberrations were analyzed by microarray comparative hybridization for two patients. One...
