Description : Megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts is a leukodystrophy characterized
by early-onset macrocephaly and delayed-onset neurologic deterioration, including
cerebellar ataxia, spasticity, epilepsy, and mild cognitive decline (summary by Lopez-Hernandez
et al., 2011). - Genetic Heterogeneity of Megalencephalic Leukoencephalopathy with
Subcortical Cysts See also MLC2A (613925), which is caused by homozygous or compound
heterozygous mutation in the HEPACAM gene (611642), and MLC2B (613926), which is caused
by heterozygous mutation in the HEPACAM gene.;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the MLC1 gene (MLC1, 605908.0001);
