Presentation
Expressive language delay is the most common developmental presentation. [healthofchildren.com]
Peripheral neuropathy may be present and contribute to motor disability. MRI findings are consistent with hypomyelination with minimal or extremely slow myelination. Myelin is present in the internal capsule and is usually normal in the cerebellum. [rarediseases.org]

Counseling can also help your child to adjust socially and avoid low self-esteem. Seeking treatment early is important for minimizing the psychological challenges that your child might experience as a result of the disorder. [healthline.com]
Frustration over the academic challenges may lead to feelings of low self-esteem, depression, and acting-out or oppositional behaviors (e.g., “I hate school!”). [childneurologyfoundation.org]

Illustrating this point, Rommel et al investigated the etiology of dysphagia in 700 children. The mean age was 25 months. Nearly half of these patients had a multifactorial etiology for their dysfunctional feeding pattern. [clinicaladvisor.com]
Epidemiology

There is a problem, however, with this evidence from the point of view of genetic epidemiology. This family was singled out for study precisely because it displayed this pattern. [projects.chass.utoronto.ca]
