Description : Sjogren-Larsson syndrome is an autosomal recessive, early childhood-onset disorder
characterized by ichthyosis, mental retardation, spastic paraparesis, macular dystrophy,
and leukoencephalopathy. It is caused by deficiency of fatty aldehyde dehydrogenase
(summary by Lossos et al., 2006).;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutations in the aldehyde dehydrogenase 3 family, member A2 gene (ALDH3A2,
270200.0001);
Laboratory abnormalities : Fatty alcohol:NAD oxidoreductase deficiency in leukocytes and fibroblasts;
