Preferred Label : Agenesis of the corpus callosum with peripheral neuropathy;
Symbol : ACCPN;
CISMeF acronym : ACCPN;
Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Alternative titles and symbols : Charlevoix disease; Polyneuropathy, sensorimotor, with or without agenesis of the corpus callosum; Corpus callosum, agenesis of, with neuronopathy; Andermann syndrome;
Description : Andermann syndrome is an autosomal recessive motor and sensory neuropathy with agenesis
of the corpus callosum associated with developmental and neurodegenerative defects
and dysmorphic features. It has a high prevalence in the French Canadian population
in the Charlevoix and Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region of Quebec (Uyanik et al., 2006).
Dupre et al. (2003) provided a comprehensive review of the disorder. Dobyns (1996)
reviewed the many genetic causes of agenesis of the corpus callosum.;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the solute carrier family 12 (sodium/chloride transporter),
member 6 gene (SLC12A6, 604878.0001);
