Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Next generation sequencing technologies allow detection of very rare pathogenic gene variants and uncover cerebral palsy. Herein, we describe two siblings with cerebral palsy due to ELOVL1 splice site mutation in autosomal recessive manner. ELOVL1 catalyzes fatty acid elongation to produce very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs; ≥C21), most of which are components of sphingolipids such as ceramides and...
