Orphanet: 58 A rare genetic leukodystrophy characterized by infantile onset of stagnation and regression of motor and language development resulting in complete lack of communication and purposeful movement. Further neurological manifestations include truncal hypotonia, appendicular spasticity, dystonia, optic disc pallor, peripheral neuropathy, and neurogenic bladder. Patients also present multiple contractures, late-onset relative macrocephaly, short stature, and facial dysmorphism (including coarse facial features, sloping forehead, thick eyebrows, low-set ears, prominent nose, flat philtrum, and prominent lower lip). Brain imaging at advanced stages shows diffuse abnormal white matter signal and severe atrophy. Sural nerve biopsy reveals decreased myelination. MalaCards based summary: Leukodystrophy, Progressive, Early Childhood-Onset, also known as alkaline ceramidase 3 deficiency, is related to aceruloplasminemia and colitis. An important gene associated with Leukodystrophy, Progressive, Early Childhood-Onset is ACER3 (Alkaline Ceramidase 3). Affiliated tissues include brain, and related phenotypes are intellectual disability and spasticity UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: 73 A form of leukodystrophy, a disorder of myelin production or maintenance affecting the central nervous system. PELCO features include neurological regression between 6 and 13 months of age, truncal hypotonia, appendicular spasticity, dystonia, optic disk pallor, peripheral neuropathy and neurogenic bladder. Brain imaging shows progressive diffuse abnormal white matter signals, cerebral atrophy, and thin corpus callosum. Sural nerve biopsy shows decreased myelination. PLDECO inheritance is autosomal recessive.
