Síndrome de McLeod: compromiso multisistémico asociado a neuroacantocitosis ligada al cromosoma X, en una familia chilena

Neurological abnormalities associated with spiculated, "acanthocytic" red cells in blood have been described as neuroacanthocytosis. This is a heterogeneous group of conditions that can be clearly subdivided on the basis of recent genetic findings. The McLeod Syndrome, one of the core neur...
