Abstract excerpt
BLOC1S1 encodes a subunit shared by the BLOC-1 and BLOC-one-related complex (BORC) hetero-octameric complexes that regulate various endolysosomal processes. Here, we report the identification of seven distinct variants in BLOC1S1 in 11 individuals from seven independent families presenting with early psychomotor delay, hypotonia, spasticity, epileptic encephalopathy, optic atrophy, and leuko-axonopathy with...
