1P31P32 MICRODELETION SYNDROME

Alternate names

1P31P32 MICRODELETION SYNDROME Is also known as monosomy 1p31p32, del(1)(p31p32)

Description

1p31p32 microdeletion syndrome is a rare chromosomal anomaly syndrome, resulting from the partial deletion of the short arm of chromosome 1, characterized by developmental delay, corpus callosum agenesis/hypoplasia and craniofacial dysmorphism, such as macrocephaly (caused by hydrocephalus or ventriculomegaly), low-set ears, anteverted nostrils and micrognathia. Urinary tract defects (e.g. vesicoureteral reflux, urinary incontinence) are also frequently associated. Other reported variable manifestations include hypotonia, tethered spinal cord, Chiari type I malformation and seizures.

Most common symptoms of 1P31P32 MICRODELETION SYNDROME

  • Intellectual disability
  • Seizures
  • Global developmental delay
  • Generalized hypotonia
  • Failure to thrive

MACROCEPHALY/MEGALENCEPHALY SYNDROME, AUTOSOMAL RECESSIVE; MGCPH

Description

Macrocephaly refers to an abnormally enlarged head inclusive of the scalp, cranial bones, and intracranial contents. Macrocephaly may be due to megalencephaly (true enlargement of the brain parenchyma), and the 2 terms are often used interchangeably in the genetic literature (reviews by Olney, 2007 and Williams et al., 2008). Autosomal recessive macrocephaly/megalencephaly syndrome is characterized by an enlarged cranium apparent at birth or in early childhood. Affected individuals have intellectual disability and may have dysmorphic facial features resulting from the macrocephaly (summary by Alfaiz et al., 2014).

Most common symptoms of MACROCEPHALY/MEGALENCEPHALY SYNDROME, AUTOSOMAL RECESSIVE; MGCPH

  • Intellectual disability
  • Seizures
  • Global developmental delay
  • Abnormal facial shape
  • Cognitive impairment
