| A rare genetic subtype of non-syndromic pontocerebellar hypoplasia with characteristics of progressive cerebellum and brainstem atrophy, corpus callosum hypo/aplasia and progressive post-natal microcephaly. Patients typically present profound global developmental delay, spastic tetraparesis, seizures, cortical visual impairment and on neuroimaging abnormal brain morphology that includes pontocerebellar hypoplasia, figure of 8 midbrain appearance and more variably interhemispheric cysts, ventriculomegaly and cerebral dysmyelination. There is evidence the disease is caused by homozygous mutation in the AMPD2 gene on chromosome 1p13. |
