Abstract
Described are the outcomes of 11 Italian patients with Aicardi-Goutières syndrome. Neurologic symptoms progressed in the first year of life and stabilized by the end of the second year in 10 patients. White matter abnormalities remained stable; cerebral atrophy was stable in four patients and progressive in two. Calcifications increased (in number and size) in two of six patients. Serial CSF and serum interferon-alpha measurements (three patients) showed reduced CSF interferon-alpha levels.
