Description : Baraitser-Winter syndrome is a rare but well-defined developmental disorder recognized
by the combination of congenital ptosis, high-arched eyebrows, hypertelorism, ocular
colobomata, and a brain malformation consisting of anterior-predominant lissencephaly.
Other typical features include postnatal short stature and microcephaly, intellectual
disability, seizures, and hearing loss (summary by Riviere et al., 2012). - Genetic
Heterogeneity of Baraitser-Winter Syndrome Baraitser-Winter syndrome-2 (BRWS2; 614583)
is caused by heterozygous mutation in the ACTG1 gene (102560) on chromosome 17q25.3.;
Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the beta actin gene (ACTB, 102630.0002);
Laboratory abnormalities : Chromosome inversion - inv2(p12q14) in 2 patients;
Prefixed ID : #243310;
