Description : Microcephaly with or without chorioretinopathy, lymphedema, or mental retardation
is an autosomal dominant disorder that involves an overlapping but variable spectrum
of central nervous system and ocular developmental anomalies. Microcephaly ranges
from mild to severe and is often associated with mild to moderate developmental delay
and a characteristic facial phenotype with upslanting palpebral fissures, broad nose
with rounded tip, long philtrum with thin upper lip, prominent chin, and prominent
ears. Chorioretinopathy is the most common eye abnormality, but retinal folds, microphthalmia,
and myopic and hypermetropic astigmatism have also been reported, and some individuals
have no overt ocular phenotype. Congenital lymphedema, when present, is typically
confined to the dorsa of the feet, and lymphoscintigraphy reveals the absence of radioactive
isotope uptake from the webspaces between the toes (summary by Ostergaard et al.,
2012). - Genetic Heterogeneity of Microcephaly and Chorioretinopathy An autosomal
recessive form of microcephaly with chorioretinopathy (251270) is caused by mutation
in the TUBGCP6 gene (610053) on chromosome 22q. See also Mirhosseini-Holmes-Walton
syndrome (autosomal recessive microcephaly with pigmentary retinopathy and mental
retardation; 268050), which has been mapped to chromosome 8q21.3-q22.1. A patient
with microcephaly, congenital retinal fold, mental retardation, and lymphedema who
had a pericentric inversion of chromosome 6 resulting in haploinsufficiency of the
CDK19 gene (614720) has been reported.;
Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;
