Description : The X-linked recessive form of congenital hydrocephalus (HSAS) is the most common of the inherited forms of hydrocephalus. The phenotype consists of enlarged cerebral ventricles and mental retardation, and often includes spastic paraparesis and adducted thumbs. The most severe cases die pre- or perinatally with gross hydrocephalus and enlarged head circumference (Rosenthal et al., 1992). See HYC1 (236600) for a discussion of nonsyndromic autosomal recessive forms of hydrocephalus.;

Inheritance : X-linked recessive;
