Fetal Akinesia, Respiratory Insufficiency, Microcephaly, Polymicrogyria and Dysmorphic Facies
Autozomálně recesivní
FARIMPD is caused by changes in both copies of ATP1A2, which makes part of the sodium-potassium pump in brain and muscle cells; the reported changes remove the gene's function. A change in one copy of ATP1A2 causes a different condition, familial hemiplegic migraine.
Příznaky a projevy
Reduced movement before birth, joint contractures (arthrogryposis) and a small head are typical, together with polymicrogyria (many small, abnormal brain folds). Early death before or soon after birth has been reported.
Co se diagnózou změní
Care is supportive and focused on comfort and breathing support, with decisions made together with the family. Genetic counselling is important; parents are usually carriers, each future pregnancy has a risk of being affected, and prenatal or preimplantation testing can be discussed.
