Neurological Findings and a Brief Review of the Current Literature in a Severe Case of Aicardi-Goutières Syndrome Due to an IFIH1 Mutation.

Aicardi-Goutières syndrome (AGS) is a rare genetic early-onset progressive encephalopathy with variable clinical manifestations. The mutation has been confirmed to be responsible for type I interferon production and activation of the Janus kinase signaling pathway. We herein stress neurological observations and neuroimaging findings in a severe case report of an infant with AGS type 7 due to an mutation who was diagnosed in the first month of life. We also review neurological characteristics of mutations through recent literature.
