: The gene encodes for the catalytic α subunit of Cytoplasmic phenylalanine-tRNA synthetase (FARS1), an essential enzyme for protein biosynthesis in transferring its amino acid component to tRNAs. Biallelic pathogenic variants have been associated with a multisystemic condition, characterized by variable expressivity and incomplete penetrance. Here, we report the case of an 11 year-old girl presenting interstitial lung disease, supratentorial leukoencephalopathy with brain cysts, hepatic dysfunction, hypoalbuminemia, skin and joint hyperlaxity, growth retardation, and dysmorphic features.

We herein report a 26-year-old man diagnosed with Wilson's disease (WD), initially treated for schizophrenia for 11 years. At 26 years old, he was admitted because of status epilepticus. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed frontal-dominant leukoencephalopathy with cystic changes and basal ganglia atrophy.

Introduction: Pathogenic variants in several genes encoding components of the mitochondrial respiratory chain have been linked to various clinical phenotypes such as progressive cavitating leukoencephalopathy (PCL). The association between PCL, previously linked to numerous gene mutations in the literature, and the gene mutations has emerged as a recent and noteworthy discovery. PCL is generally diagnosed in symptomatic patients during the early years of life, mostly in infancy.

Labrune syndrome is a rare neurogenetic disorder with varied presentations. Here, we report the case of a 53-year-old male who presented with seizures, gait imbalance, and upper limb tremors for two years. Imaging studies revealed extensive leukodystrophy, multiple cerebral calcifications, and cystic lesions characteristic of Labrune syndrome.
