First reported adult patient with retinal dystrophy and leukodystrophy caused by a novel ACBD5 variant: A case report and review of literature
Abstract
Peroxisomes play an essential role in lipid metabolism via interaction with other intracellular organelles. The information about the role of the Acyl-CoA-binding domain containing-protein 5 (ACBD5) in these interactions in human cells is emerging. Moreover, a few patients with retinal dystrophy and leukodystrophy caused by pathogenic variants in ACBD5 have been recently introduced. Here, we present a 36-year-old female with retinal dystrophy, leukodystrophy, and psychomotor regression due to a novel homozygous variant in ACBD5. Our study adds to the growing knowledge of this peroxisomal disorder by providing phenotypic details of the first adult patient.
Keywords: ACBD5; RDLKD; cone-rod dystrophy; spastic paraplegia; white matter disease.
