A recurrent TMEM106B mutation in hypomyelinating leukodystrophy: A rapid diagnostic assay.

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Hypomyelinating leukodystrophies (HLDs) are genetically heterogeneous syndromes, presenting abnormalities in myelin development in the central nervous system. Recently, a recurrent de novo mutation in TMEM106B was identified to be responsible for five cases of HLD. We report the first Japanese case of TMEM106B gene mutation. CASE STUDY: A 3-year-old patient presented with nystagmus and muscle...
