Microcephalic cortical malformations-short stature due to RTTN deficiency

Type
Malformation syndrome
Group
Disorder
Inheritance
Autosomal recessive
Age of onset
Infancy, Neonatal
Status
active

A rare, genetic, neurodevelopmental disorder with primordial microcephaly characterized by primary microcephaly, moderate to severe intellectual disability, and global developmental delay. Variable brain malformations are common ranging from simplified gyration, to cortical malformations such as pachygyria, polymicrogyria, reduced sulcation and midline defects. Craniofacial dysmorphism (e.g. sloping forehead, high and broad nasal bridge) are related to the primary microcephaly. Short stature is frequently observed, and may be severe.
