Description |
Infantile-onset neurodegeneration with optic atrophy and brain abnormalities (NDOABA) is a novel syndrome characterized by global developmental delay, severe intellectual disability, hypotonia, limb spasticity, muscle wasting, dysmorphic facies, optic atrophy, leuko-axonopathy with hypomyelination, and neurodegenerative features. It has been reported that biallelic mutations in BORCS8 cause this disease. BORCS8 is a subunit of BLOC-one-related complex (BORC) that associates with the cytosolic face of lysosomes. BORC promotes the movement of lysosomes toward the peripheral cytoplasm.
