Leucoencephalopathy with brainstem and spinal cord involvement and lactate elevation (LBSL) is a very rare autosomal recessive, slowly progressive neurological disorder characterised by distinctive clinical findings including cerebellar, pyramidal and dorsal column dysfunction. This is caused by a mutation in the DARS2 gene, which encodes mitochondrial aspartyl-tRNA synthetase. MRI shows distinctive abnormalities in the cerebral white matter and specific brain stem and spinal cord tracts. Here, we present a case of LBSL, with a novel c.1192-2A>G mutation.
伴有脑干和脊髓受累及乳酸升高的白质脑病(LBSL)是一种非常罕见的常染色体隐性、缓慢进展的神经疾病,其特征为独特的临床表现,包括小脑、锥体束和后索功能障碍。这是由DARS2基因突变引起的,该基因编码线粒体天冬氨酰 - tRNA合成酶。MRI显示大脑白质以及特定脑干和脊髓束有独特异常。在此,我们报告一例LBSL病例,带有一个新的c.1192 - 2A>G突变。
