Description

Pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 1 (PCH1), also known as Norman's disease, is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of autosomal recessive disorders with a prenatal onset characterized by diffuse muscular atrophy secondary to pontocerebellar hypoplasia and spinal cord anterior horn cell degeneration resulting in early death.

Most common symptoms of PONTOCEREBELLAR HYPOPLASIA TYPE 1

  • Intellectual disability
  • Seizures
  • Global developmental delay
  • Generalized hypotonia
  • Microcephaly

Description

Pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 6 (PCH6) is a rare form of pontocerebellar hypoplasia (see this term) characterized clinically at birth by hypotonia, clonus, epilepsy impaired swallowing and from infancy by progressive microencephaly, spasticity and lactic acidosis.

Most common symptoms of PONTOCEREBELLAR HYPOPLASIA TYPE 6
