SPASTIC TETRAPLEGIA-THIN CORPUS CALLOSUM-PROGRESSIVE POSTNATAL MICROCEPHALY SYNDROME

Alternate names

SPASTIC TETRAPLEGIA-THIN CORPUS CALLOSUM-PROGRESSIVE POSTNATAL MICROCEPHALY SYNDROME Is also known as spastic quadriplegia-thin corpus callosum-progressive postnatal microcephaly syndrome, asct1 deficiency

Description

Spastic tetraplegia, thin corpus callosum, and progressive microcephaly is an autosomal recessive neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by onset of those features and severely impaired global development in early infancy. Most patients are unable to achieve independent walking or speech; some patients have seizures (summary by Srour et al., 2015 and Heimer et al., 2015).

Most common symptoms of SPASTIC TETRAPLEGIA-THIN CORPUS CALLOSUM-PROGRESSIVE POSTNATAL MICROCEPHALY SYNDROME

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