Agenesis of the corpus callosum with peripheral neuropathy

Definition:

Agenesis of the corpus callosum with peripheral neuropathy (ACCPN) is a severe neurodegenerative disorder that is transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait. It is associated with mental retardation, progressive peripheral neuropathy caused by axonal degeneration, and complete or partial agenesis of the corpus callosum. ACCPN is found in French Canadian population and could be resulted from a single founder mutation.
