615219 | OMIM | Hydrocephalus, congenital, 2, with or without brain or eye anomalies (HYC2) | A form of congenital hydrocephalus, a disease characterized by onset in utero of enlarged ventricles due to accumulation of ventricular cerebrospinal fluid. HYC2 affected individuals have variable neurologic impairment. Some individuals have other brain abnormalities, including lissencephaly, thinning of the corpus callosum, and neuronal heterotopia. Most patients have delayed motor development and some have delayed intellectual development and/or seizures. Additional congenital features, including cardiac septal defects, iris coloboma, and non-specific dysmorphic features, may be observed. HYC2 inheritance is autosomal recessive. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
