Description : The French Canadian type of Leigh syndrome is an autosomal recessive severe neurologic
disorder with onset in infancy. Features include delayed psychomotor development,
mental retardation, mild dysmorphic facial features, hypotonia, ataxia, and the development
of lesions in the brainstem and basal ganglia. Affected individuals tend to have episodic
metabolic and/or neurologic crises in early childhood, which often lead to early death
(summary by Debray et al., 2011). For a phenotypic description and a discussion of
genetic heterogeneity of Leigh syndrome, see 256000.;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;

607544.0001);
