Targeted phenotype under study:
Aventriculy
Abstract
We met a young patient with profound intellectual disability, congenital cataract, microcephaly (-6 SD). Brain MRI showed absence of telencephalic ventricles with cortical and midline anomalies. The CT scan showed calcifications.
We have not identified the potential genetic cause with CMA and genome sequencing, but there are a large number of homozygous variants that are not easy to interpret.
We are looking for other patients with this phenotype to try to find a genetic cause for this very rare phenotype which has been named aventriculy.
