PEBAT
Definition:
Early-onset progressive encephalopathy with brain atrophy and thin corpus callosum (PEBAT) is an autosomal recessive neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorder. Clinical features include developmental delay and profound intellectual disability, seizures, progressive spasticity, and early-onset cortical atrophy. Mutations in TBCD cause PEBAT. TBCD encodes one of the five co-chaperones playing a pivotal role in microtubule assembly.
