Description : Mental retardation and microcephaly with pontine and cerebellar hypoplasia (MICPCH)
is an X-linked disorder affecting females and characterized by severe intellectual
disability, microcephaly, and variable degrees of pontocerebellar hypoplasia. Affected
individuals have very poor psychomotor development, often without independent ambulation
or speech, and axial hypotonia with or without hypertonia. Some may have sensorineural
hearing loss or eye anomalies. Dysmorphic features include overall poor growth, severe
microcephaly (-3.5 to -10 SD), broad nasal bridge and tip, large ears, long philtrum,
micrognathia, and hypertelorism (summary by Moog et al., 2011).;
Inheritance : X-linked dominant;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the calcium/calmodulin-dependent serine protein kinase gene
(CASK, 300172.0001);
