Developmental delay, leukoencephalopathy, and neurologic decompensation

Definition:

Developmental delay, leukoencephalopathy, and neurologic decompensation is an autosomal dominant neurodevelopmental syndrome caused by missense mutations in EIF2AK1 and EIF2AK2. They encode members of the eIF-2-alpha kinase family that inhibits protein synthesis in response to physiologic stress conditions.
