Multiple congenital anomalies-hypotonia-seizures syndrome is a rare multi-systemic genetic disorder which is characterized by developmental delay, seizures, hypotonia and heart, urinary, and gastrointestinal abnormalities.
Presentation
People with this disorder often show the following symptoms:
General
- Hypotonia
- Widespread developmental delays
- Early-onset seizures
Heart
Genito-urinary
- Hydrocele
- Renal collection system dilatation
- Hydroureter
- Hydronephrosis
- Trabecular urinary bladder hypertrophy
Gastrointestinal
- Gastroesophageal reflux
- Anal stenosis
- Imperforate anus
- Ano-vestibular fistula
Facial
- Coarse face
- Occiput prominence
- Bitemporal narrowing
- Epicanthal folds
- Hypertelorbitism
- Nystagmus
- Strabismus
- Distracted eyes
- Low-set prominent ears
- Nasal bridge depression
- Upward-facing nose
- Long philtrum
- Large, constantly open mouth
- Thin lips
- High palate
- Micro/retrognathia
Auricular
- Auricle abnormalities
Causes
It is caused by an autosomal recessive mutation in the PIGN gene, in chromosome 18, to be more specific; it is caused by a base pair substitution of C to A somewhere in the gene.
Epidemiology
Only 15 cases of this syndrome have been reported in medical literature.
