Description: (OMIM) Periventricular nodular heterotopia is a disorder of neuronal migration in which neurons fail to migrate appropriately from the ventricular zone to the cortex during development, resulting in the formation of nodular brain tissue lining the ventricles. Most affected ...
Clinical Description OMIM Kamuro and Tenokuchi (1993) described periventricular heterotopic nodules in a 13-year-old girl, her 34-year-old mother, and her 60-year-old grandmother. The mother had suffered from epileptic seizures since she was 15 years old, but the daughter and grandmother were ...
Genotype-Phenotype Correlations OMIM After mutations in FLN1 were identified in periventricular heterotopia, Fox et al. (1998) reviewed clinical histories of cases and discovered a number of additional congenital anomalies common to patients with FLN1 mutations. For example, 3 of 11 affected ...
Molecular genetics OMIM In patients with X-linked periventricular nodular heterotopia, Fox et al. (1998) identified heterozygous mutations in the FLNA gene (300017.0001-300017.00015). The FLNA encodes an actin-crosslinking phosphoprotein that transduces ligand-receptor binding into actin reorganization, and which is required for locomotion ...
Diagnosis GeneReviews The diagnosis of X-linked periventricular heterotopia (PH) relies on a combination of clinical features, neuroimaging studies, and family history....
Clinical Description GeneReviews X-linked periventricular heterotopia (PH) is prenatally or neonatally lethal in most males; therefore, the majority of affected individuals are female....
Genotype-Phenotype Correlations GeneReviews All individuals known to have an FLNA mutation, including those who are asymptomatic, have heterotopia identifiable by brain MRI or CT [Fox et al 1998, Poussaint et al 2000, Sheen et al 2001, Moro et al 2002]....
Differential Diagnosis GeneReviews The frequent occurrence of familial or nonfamilial periventricular heterotopia in males and females with no documented FLNA mutation suggests that PH is a heterogeneous disorder....
Management GeneReviews To establish the extent of disease in an individual diagnosed with X-linked periventricular heterotopia (PH) the following evaluations are recommended:...
