Hypomyelinating leukodystrophy type 19 (HLD-19), also termed transient hypomyelination of infancy, is caused by TMEM63A  variants. It can clinically resemble other hypomyelinating leukodystrophies but is distinguished by developmental improvement. However, its phenotypic spectrum remains incompletely defined.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>CASE SUMMARY<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>We describe 3 related individuals presenting in early infancy with nystagmus, hypotonia, and delayed motor milestones. Brain magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated diffuse hypomyelination, followed by progressive clinical improvement and normalization of myelination on serial imaging. Initial trio whole-exome sequencing was nondiagnostic. Reanalysis-prompted by recognition of additional affected relatives and refinement of human phenotype ontology (HPO) annotation-identified a novel heterozygous TMEM63A  variant (c.146G&gt;T; p.Gly49Val). The variant segregated with disease in multiple affected family members.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>CONCLUSION<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>This familial series expands the clinical and genetic spectrum of TMEM63A -related HLD-19. It emphasizes that whole-exome sequencing reanalysis-particularly when family structure or phenotype evolves and when broader HPO terms are applied-can secure a diagnosis and improve counseling and prognostic guidance.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5409\/wjcp.v15.i2.117629","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,13]],"date-time":"2026-05-13T00:27:12Z","timestamp":1778632032000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Novel\n                    <i>TMEM63A<\/i>\n                    mutation associated with transient hypomyelination of infancy - lessons from a previously negative whole-exome sequencing case: Three case reports"],"prefix":"10.5409","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Mongkol","family":"Chanvanichtrakool","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pimchanok","family":"Kulsirichawaroj","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Watanawan","family":"Jaito","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Theerapong","family":"Pho-Iam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wuttichart","family":"Kamolvisit","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Surachai","family":"Likasitwattanakul","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2060","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.neurol.2019.04.003"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ana.24194"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/cge.12811"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41582-020-00432-1"},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0188869"},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajhg.2019.09.011"},{"key":"B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s10038-021-00921-1"},{"key":"B8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.braindev.2021.09.006"},{"key":"B9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000529018"},{"key":"B10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/genes15050525"},{"key":"B11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/gim.2017.1"},{"key":"B12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jimd.12507"}],"container-title":["World Journal of Clinical Pediatrics"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.wjgnet.com\/2219-2808\/full\/v15\/i2\/117629.htm","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.wjgnet.com\/2219-2808\/full\/v15\/i2\/117629.htm","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,13]],"date-time":"2026-05-13T00:28:27Z","timestamp":1778632107000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.wjgnet.com\/2219-2808\/full\/v15\/i2\/117629.htm"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,9]]},"references-count":12,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2"},"alternative-id":["117629"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.5409\/wjcp.v15.i2.117629","relation":{},"ISSN":["2219-2808"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2219-2808","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,9]]}}}
