Written and reviewed by Dr Ibrahim Imam, Consultant Neurologist. Last reviewed .
Vici syndrome. This is caused by mutations in the EPG5 gene on chromosome 18q. Fully referenced neurology checklist.
Genetics
- This is caused by mutations in the EPG5 gene on chromosome 18q
- The transmission is autosomal recessive
- It is possibly a glycogen storage disorder
