摘要
Leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter (LVWM) is an autosomal recessive disease. Ovarioleukodystrophy is defined as LVWM in females showing signs or symptoms of gradual ovarian failure. We present a 38-year-old female with ovarioleukodystrophy who showed status epilepticus, gait instability, slurred speech, abdominal tendon hyperreflexia, and ovarian failure. Abnormal EEG, characteristic magnetic resonance, and unreported EIF2B5 compound heterozygous mutations [c.1016G>A (p.R339Q) and c.1157G>A (p.G386D)] were found. Furthermore, the present report summarizes 20 female patients with adult-onset ovarioleukodystrophy and EIF2B5 gene mutations. In conclusion, a new genetic locus for LVWM was discovered. Compared with previous cases, mutations at different EIF2B5 sites might have different clinical manifestations and obvious clinical heterogeneity.
