Tracie,
I can't speak to the microcephaly issue, but myelin sheaths are the
insulation around nerves. A delay in their development means a delay in the
maturation of the nervous system development.

Do you know if by children having this, is it possible that it could be
linked to any other of their ongoing issues?

he is now 6 years old, it stated that the development of the myelin sheath
is delayed. Would this be something that anyone from the list would be
knowledgable about?
