Pontocerebellar Hypoplasia, Type 1c; Pch1c

Description

Pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 1C is a severe autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by severe muscle weakness and failure to thrive apparent in the first months of life. Affected infants showed delayed psychomotor development, often with visual and hearing impairment, and may die of respiratory failure. Brain imaging typically shows cerebellar hypoplasia, hypoplasia of the corpus callosum, and immature myelination (summary by Boczonadi et al., 2014).For a phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of PCH, see PCH1A (OMIM ).
