Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Description : Pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 8 is an autosomal recessive neurodevelopmental disorder
characterized by severe psychomotor retardation, abnormal movements, hypotonia, spasticity,
and variable visual defects. Brain MRI shows pontocerebellar hypoplasia, decreased
cerebral white matter, and a thin corpus callosum (summary by Mochida et al., 2012).

PCH, see PCH1 (607596).;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the CHMP family, member 1A gene (CHMP1A, 164010.0001);
