Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome (AGS) is a rare hereditary disorder with different types of inheritance manifested by progressive leukoencephalopathy with early onset, sharing common features with autoimmune disease. This article describes the first Russian case of AGS type 6 (AGS6) associated with compound heterozygote c.577C>G (p.Pro193Ala)+c.2304G>A (p.Trp768*) in <i>ADAR</i> and provides a more in-depth understanding of AGS6 by summarizing the worldwide literature and suggesting models for practitioners to diagnose patients with clinically suspected AGS.
