Microcephaly with Lissencephaly and/or Hydranencephaly
Autozomálně recesivní
Caused by changes in both copies of NDE1, which is needed for cell division in the developing brain. Loss of function disrupts the proliferation of brain progenitor cells.
Příznaky a projevy
Severe microcephaly, with a simplified or smooth brain surface. In one review of reported cases, all had intellectual disability and corpus callosum agenesis.
Co se diagnózou změní
Care is supportive, with seizure treatment, feeding support, physiotherapy and palliative care where needed. Genetic counselling explains the recessive inheritance, and carrier and prenatal testing are available for families.
