Microcephaly with pontine and cerebellar hypoplasia (MICPCH): atypical presentation in female
نویسندگان
چکیده
Case presentation: LSLLMRG, female, 7 years old, presented with microcephaly and global hypotonia at birth, evolving to spastic tetraparesis. He started difficult-to-control epileptic seizures 3 of age. Skull MRI showed pontocerebellar hypoplasia. Mother a history two previous miscarriages, pregnancy complicated by bleeding. She was born term, Apgar 9/10, difficulty in sucking low weight gain the first month, addition significant delay developmental milestones. Exome collected 2020 variant uncertain significance heterozygosity CASK gene (Microcephaly pontine cerebellar hypoplasia - MICPCH OMIM #300749), associated very rare variants identified ARID1A TBX1 genes, related phenotypes partially overlapping one described case index. Genetic evaluation parents did not point similar pathogenic variants.

Comprehensive investigation of CASK mutations and other genetic etiologies in 41 patients with intellectual disability and microcephaly with pontine and cerebellar hypoplasia (MICPCH)
The CASK gene (Xp11.4) is highly expressed in the mammalian nervous system and plays several roles in neural development and synaptic function. Loss-of-function mutations of CASK are associated with intellectual disability and microcephaly with pontine and cerebellar hypoplasia (MICPCH), especially in females. Here, we present a comprehensive investigation of 41 MICPCH patients, analyzed by mut...
متن کاملPontine hypoplasia in children with periventricular leukomalacia.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The brain stem in patients with periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) appears smaller than normal on MR imaging, but few reports have described this feature, and the number of patients has been relatively small. The present study was conducted to examine the hypothesis that the pons in patients with PVL is smaller than normal. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using MR imaging, we exa...
متن کاملAtypical presentation of central pontine myelinolysis in hyperglycemia
Central pontine myelinolysis (CPM) usually occurs with rapid correction of severe chronic hyponatremia. Despite the pronounced fluctuations in serum osmolality, CPM is rarely seen in diabetics. This is a case report of CPM associated with hyperglycemia. A 45-year-old non-smoking and non-alcoholic African American male with past medical history of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, stage V chronic k...
متن کاملA syndrome involving intrauterine growth retardation, microcephaly, cerebellar hypoplasia, B lymphocyte deficiency, and progressive pancytopenia.
We report a new complex syndrome involving profound failure to thrive with severe intrauterine growth retardation, cerebellar abnormalities, microcephaly, a complete lack of B lymphocyte development, and secondary, progressive marrow aplasia. B cell differentiation was found to be blocked at the pro-B cell stage. Although not strictly proven, a genetic origin is likely, according to similar cas...
متن کاملNew Recessive Syndrome of Microcephaly, Cerebellar Hypoplasia, and Congenital Heart Conduction Defect
We identified a two-branch consanguineous family in which four affected members (three females and one male) presented with constitutive growth delay, severe psychomotor retardation, microcephaly, cerebellar hypoplasia, and second-degree heart block. They also shared distinct facial features and similar appearance of their hands and feet. Childhood-onset insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus deve...
