" /> Mowat-wilson syndrome - CISMeF





Preferred Label : Mowat-wilson syndrome;

Symbol : MOWS;

CISMeF acronym : MOWS;

Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;

Alternative titles and symbols : Microcephaly, mental retardation, and distinct facial features, with or without hirschsprung disease; Hirschsprung disease-mental retardation syndrome;

Description : Mowat-Wilson syndrome is an autosomal dominant complex developmental disorder; individuals with functional null mutations present with mental retardation, delayed motor development, epilepsy, and a wide spectrum of clinically heterogeneous features suggestive of neurocristopathies at the cephalic, cardiac, and vagal levels. Mowat-Wilson syndrome has many clinical features in common with Goldberg-Shprintzen megacolon syndrome (609460) but the 2 disorders are genetically distinct (Mowat et al., 2003). Goldberg-Shprintzen megacolon syndrome is caused by mutation in the KIAA1279 gene (609367) located on 10q.;

Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;

Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the zinc finger E box-binding homeobox 2 gene (ZEB2, 605802.0001);

Laboratory abnormalities : Absent enteric ganglia beginning at rectum and extending proximally by varying degrees;

Prefixed ID : #235730;
