307000 | OMIM | Hydrocephalus due to stenosis of the aqueduct of Sylvius (HSAS) | Hydrocephalus is a condition in which abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain causes increased intracranial pressure inside the skull. This is usually due to blockage of cerebrospinal fluid outflow in the brain ventricles or in the subarachnoid space at the base of the brain. In children is typically characterized by enlargement of the head, prominence of the forehead, brain atrophy, mental deterioration, and convulsions. In adults the syndrome includes incontinence, imbalance, and dementia. HSAS is characterized by mental retardation and enlarged brain ventricles. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. L1CAM mutations have also been found in few patients affected by hydrocephalus with Hirschsprung disease, suggesting a role of this gene acting either in a direct or indirect way in the pathogenesis of Hirschsprung disease (PubMed:22344793). |
304100 | OMIM | Agenesis of the corpus callosum, X-linked, partial (ACCPX) | A syndrome characterized by partial corpus callosum agenesis, hypoplasia of inferior vermis and cerebellum, mental retardation, seizures and spasticity. Other features include microcephaly, unusual facies, and Hirschsprung disease in some patients. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
303350 | OMIM | Mental retardation, aphasia, shuffling gait, and adducted thumbs syndrome (MASA) | An X-linked recessive syndrome with a highly variable clinical spectrum. Main clinical features include spasticity and hyperreflexia of lower limbs, shuffling gait, mental retardation, aphasia and adducted thumbs. The features of spasticity have been referred to as complicated spastic paraplegia type 1 (SPG1). Some patients manifest corpus callosum hypoplasia and hydrocephalus. Inter- and intrafamilial variability is very wide, such that patients with hydrocephalus, MASA, SPG1, and agenesis of corpus callosum can be present within the same family. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
