Cortical dysgenesis with pontocerebellar hypoplasia due to TUBB3 mutation

Type
Disease
Group
Disorder
Inheritance
Autosomal dominant
Age of onset
Infancy, Neonatal
Status
active

A rare, genetic, non-syndromic cerebral malformation due to abnormal neuronal migration disease characterized by the association of cortical dysplasia and pontocerebellar hypoplasia, manifesting with global developmental delay, mild to severe intellectual disability, axial hypotonia, strabismus, nystagmus and, occasionally, optic nerve hypoplasia. Brain imaging reveals variable malformations, including frontally predominant microgyria, gyral disorganization and simplification, dysmorphic and hypertrophic basal ganglia, cerebellar vermis dysplasia, brainstem/corpus callosum hypoplasia, and/or olfactory bulbs agenesis.
