Additional Information:

Description: (OMIM) Primary megalencephaly is defined as a head circumference about the 98th percentile that most likely is due to brain enlargement and is not secondary to disease (review by Petersson et al., 1999).
Clinical Description OMIM DeMyer (1972) reported instances of apparently autosomal dominant megalencephaly, with male-to-male transmission in some cases. In a family with megalencephaly in 3 generations, the proband also had mediastinal ganglioneuroblastoma. Macrocephaly predominated in males.
