PONTOCEREBELLAR HYPOPLASIA TYPE 1

Alternate names

PONTOCEREBELLAR HYPOPLASIA TYPE 1 Is also known as pch1, norman disease, pontocerebellar hypoplasia with infantile spinal muscular atrophy, pontocerebellar hypoplasia with anterior horn cell disease

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

MICROCEPHALY-COMPLEX MOTOR AND SENSORY AXONAL NEUROPATHY SYNDROME

Description

Microcephaly-complex motor and sensory axonal neuropathy syndrome is an extremely rare subtype of hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy characterized by severe, rapidly-progressing, distal, symmetric polyneuropathy and microcephaly (which can be evident in utero) with intact cognition. Clinically it presents with delayed motor development, hypotonia, absent or reduced deep tendon reflexes, progressive muscle wasting and weakness and scoliosis.
