RESUMEN
Megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts is a rare disease first described in 1995. It is characterized by macrocephaly and early onset white matter degeneration. We report two siblings who were diagnosed to have this disease. This disease must be included in differential diagnosis of macrocephaly with early onset leukoencephalopathy.

A search for the presence of mariner-like elements in the Labeo rohita genome by polymerase chain reaction led to the amplification of a partial DNA sequence coding for a putative transmembrane domain of gonadotropin hormone receptor. The amplified DNA sequence shows a high degree of homology to the available turkey and human luteinizing and follicle stimulating hormone receptor coding sequences. This is the first report on cloning such sequences of piscine origin.
