Abstract excerpt
Hypomyelinating leukodystrophies (HLDs) are a rare group of disorders characterized by myelin deficit of the brain-based on MRI. Here, we studied 20 patients with unexplained HLD to uncover their genetic etiology through whole-exome sequencing (WES). Trio-based WES was performed for 20 unresolved HLDs families after genetic tests for the PLP1 duplication and a panel of 115 known leukodystrophy-related genes....
