Abstract:
Sjögren-Larsson syndrome (SLS) is a rare disorder with autosomal recessive inheritance. Its clinical, pathological, genetic, and biochemical manifestations have been thoroughly evaluated, but there is little imaging data, especially regarding MRI. We present brain MRI of three siblings with SLS and discuss our findings.

01:43Sex-linked Disorders
Like autosomes, sex chromosomes contain a variety of genes necessary for normal body function. When a mutation in one of these genes results in biological deficits, the disorder is considered sex-linked.
01:24Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive medical imaging technique based on a phenomenon of nuclear physics discovered in the 1930s, in which matter exposed to magnetic fields and radio waves was found to emit radio signals. In 1970, a physician and researcher named Raymond Damadian noticed that malignant (cancerous) tissue gave off different signals than normal body tissue. He applied for a patent for the first MRI scanning device in clinical use by the early 1980s. The early MRI...
