Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome 6

Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome 6 is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations of the ADAR gene. Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome is characterized by subacute encephalopathy with basal ganglia calcification, cystic leukodystrophy, lymphocytosis of the cerebrospinal fluid. The onset is usually soon after birth, but also milder cases with normal cognitive function have been reported.

Epidemiology

The prevalence of all types of Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome is less than 1-5:10,000.
