encephalopathy due to prosaposin deficiency — Definition
Prosaposin eksikliğine bağlı ensefalopati / encephalopathy due to prosaposin deficiency
Encephalopathy, depending on the lack of pros, is a disease that leads to progressive neurological damage, characterized by insufficient production of pros’ protein. This condition causes neuronal degeneration and function loss as a result of disruption of lipid metabolism in the brain and nervous system. Clinically, in patients with development backrest, seizures, spastisite, motor and cognitive functions, the resulting loss is observed. Applied in diagnosis, genetic tests and biochemical analysis, symptomatic support therapy is applied together with no exact treatment.
