Background And Purpose: Infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy (INAD) is a subtype of PLA2G6-Associated Neurodegeneration (PLAN) with an age of early onset and severe clinical phenotypes of neurodegeneration. Individuals affected with INAD are characterized by rapid progressive psychomotor deterioration, neuroregression, and hypotonia followed by generalized spasticity, optic atrophy, and dementia. In this case, we aimed to identify the underlying causative genetic factors of a Chinese family with two siblings who presented with walking difficulty and inability to speak.

Childhood ataxia with central nervous system hypomyelination (CACH) is a recently described childhood inherited white matter disease, caused by mutations in any of the five genes encoding eukaryotic translation initiation factor ( ). Retrospective review of the charts of children with CACH was performed from January 2014 to March 2020 at tertiary care center from Southern India.
