Agenesis of the corpus callosum: clinical and genetic study in 63 young patients

Pediatric Neurology
Maria Francesca BedeschiRenato Borgatti

Abstract

This study reports the clinical features of 63 patients with agenesis of the corpus callosum who received in-depth genetic, clinical, and laboratory testing with the aim to contribute to a better description of the large spectrum of associated malformations and to assist clinicians in the diagnosis. Thirty patients manifested complete agenesis and 33 patients displayed partial agenesis. Other associated nervous system malformations were detected in 14 patients with partial agenesis of the corpus callosum (mostly correlated to posterior fossa malformations) and in 10 patients with complete agenesis (more frequently associated with malformations of cortical development). Involvement of organs and apparatus other than the nervous system was present in 41 patients (ascribed to known syndromes in 21 cases). Cytogenetically detectable chromosomal abnormalities (7 patients) and subtelomeric rearrangements (3 patients) were found. Neuromotor skills were impaired in almost all cases (58/63). Mental retardation of different severity was present in 52 cases, whereas 2 patients were borderline and 9 patients had normal intelligence quotient. This study demonstrates that there is no unique prognosis for agenesis of the corpus callosum as th...Continue Reading

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
