Abstract excerpt
Megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts (MLC) is a rare leukodystrophy characterized by early-onset macrocephaly, white matter edema, seizures, and motor and cognitive decline. Approximately 25% of MLC patients carry HEPACAM pathogenic variants, many of which are dominant missense variants causing remitting MLC Type 2b. HEPACAM encodes hepatic and glial cell adhesion molecule (hepaCAM), also...
