Symbol : CDCBM1;
CISMeF acronym : CDCBM1;
Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Description : Complex cortical dysplasia with other brain malformations (CDCBM) is a disorder of
aberrant neuronal migration and disturbed axonal guidance. Affected individuals have
mild to severe mental retardation, strabismus, axial hypotonia, and spasticity. Brain
imaging shows variable malformations of cortical development, including polymicrogyria,
gyral disorganization, and fusion of the basal ganglia, as well as thin corpus callosum,
hypoplastic brainstem, and dysplastic cerebellar vermis. Extraocular muscles are not
involved (summary by Poirier et al., 2010). Mutation in the TUBB3 gene can also cause
congenital fibrosis of extraocular muscles-3A (CFEOM3A; 600638), a milder and somewhat
different neurologic phenotype. - Genetic Heterogeneity of Complex Cortical Dysplasia
With Other Brain Malformations See also CDCBM2 (615282), caused by mutation in the
KIF5C gene (604593) on chromosome 2q23; CDCBM3 (615411), caused by mutation in the
KIF2A gene (602591) on chromosome 5q12; and CDCBM4 (615412), caused by mutation in
the TUBG1 gene (191135) on chromosome 17q21.;
Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the beta-3 tubulin gene (TUBB3, 602661.0006);
