Three siblings are described with a distinct phenotype characterized by dysmorphic facial features, profound hypotonia, seizures and precocious puberty. No cause has been identified in spite of numerous investigations, including array-comparative genomic hybridization at a resolution of 1 Mb.
Hypomagnesemia with secondary hypocalcemia is a rare autosomal recessive disorder which manifests in early infancy with generalized seizures, other symptoms of neuromuscular irritability, and growth disturbances. Homozygous mutations in the magnesium transporter gene, transient receptor potential
PIGT encodes a subunit of the glycosylphosphatidylinositol transamidase complex, which catalyzes the attachment of proteins to GPI-anchors. A homozygous PIGT variant c.550G>A (p. E184K) in a Chinese boy with multiple malformations, hypotonia, seizure and profound development delay was identified by
Three unrelated Puerto Rican boys, ranging in age from 3 to 4 years, had marked, central, non-progressive hypotonia, chronic constipation, severe psychomotor retardation, seizures or abnormal electroencephalograph or both, abnormal dermatoglyphics, delayed bone age, dysharmonic skeletal maturation,
Objective: To analyze and summarize the clinical and molecular characteristics of the patients with multiple congenital anomalies- hypotonia-seizures syndrome 1 (MCAHS 1). Method: Clinical data and test results were collected from a patient who was diagnosed with confirmed genetic basis of MCAHS 1
Multiple congenital anomalies-hypotonia-seizures syndrome 2 (MCAHS2) is a rare disease caused by mutations in the X chromosomal PIGA gene. Clinically it is characterized by early-onset epilepsy, hypotonia, dysmorphic features, and variable congenital anomalies. PIGA codes for the
Two siblings suffering since birth from convulsions, hypotonia, and mental retardation are presented. In the older sibling (eight and one-half years of age) frontal lobe biopsy revealed abnormal cytosomes with lamellar profiles in astrocytes, macrophages, and to a lesser degree in neurons. Similar
Epilepsy is a phenotypically and genetically highly heterogeneous disorder with >200 genes linked to inherited forms of the disease. To identify the underlying genetic cause in a patient with intractable seizures, optic atrophy, severe intellectual disability (ID), brain abnormalities, and muscular
Recently, mutations in the zinc finger MYND-type containing 11 (ZMYND11) gene were identified in patients with autism spectrum disorders, intellectual disability, aggression, and complex neuropsychiatric features, supporting that this gene is implicated in 10p15.3 microdeletion syndrome. We report a
An infant girl was demonstrated to have D-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria, the fifth case described and the first with muscle biopsy of this rare organic aciduria that differs clinically and genetically from the more common L-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria. Her clinical features included mildly dysmorphic
Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchoring is a special type of protein posttranslational modification, by which proteins with diverse function are attached to cell membrane through a covalent linkage between the protein and the glycolipid. Phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis class A
We report the case of a 23-month-old male with hypotonia, developmental delay, and complex seizures. Radiographs revealed profound sclerosis of the metaphyses and epiphyses of the long and short bones in the extremities, with a unique pattern of distribution. Sclerosis also involved the anterior
In this paper, we describe a baby male born to healthy non-consanguineous parents presenting at birth with hypotonia and seizures. Additional salient clinical features included the development of glaucoma, the absence of significant facial dysmorphism and the absence of liver enlargement or renal
Mutations in the PIGN gene involved in the glycosylphoshatidylinositol (GPI) anchor biosynthesis pathway cause Multiple Congenital Anomalies-Hypotonia-Seizures syndrome 1 (MCAHS1). The syndrome manifests developmental delay, hypotonia, and epilepsy, combined with multiple congenital anomalies. We
To summarize and extend the phenotypic characterization of Multiple Congenital Anomalies-Hypotonia-Seizures Syndrome, and to discuss genotype-phenotype correlations.Collecting clinical information of 17 patients with pathogenic variants in PIGN, PIGA, and
