Bi-allelic truncating variants in CASP2 underlie a neurodevelopmental disorder with lissencephaly [PDF]
Lissencephaly (LIS) is a malformation of cortical development due to deficient neuronal migration and abnormal formation of cerebral convolutions or gyri. Thirty-one LIS-associated genes have been previously described.

Abnormal cavum septi pellucidi is the most common indirect sign of partial agenesis of corpus callosum (pACC). A cystic mass in the midline that communicates with the third ventricle may be an indirect sign of pACC. PACC is highly associated with intra‐ and extracranial malformations.

Cytomegalic parvalbumin neurons in fetal cases of hemimegalencephaly
Abstract Objective Mutations in genes of the mTOR pathway have been identified as a major cause of hemimegalencephaly (HMG), focal cortical dysplasia type II, and tuberous sclerosis, cortical malformations associated with epilepsy. These conditions are characterized at the cellular level by increased size of pyramidal neurons that grow with dysmorphic ...

Prenatal Diagnosis of Proteus Syndrome: About a Case
ABSTRACT Proteus syndrome (PS) is a rare disorder (< 1/1000000), marked by progressive overgrowth commonly impacting the skeleton, skin, adipose tissue, and central nervous system. Clinical criteria were established in 2019. PS arises from a somatic activating variation in the AKT1 gene.

Lissencephaly–pachygyria-severe band heterotopia are diffuse neuronal migration disorders (NMDs) causing severe, global neurological impairment. Abnormalities of the LIS1, DCX, ARX, TUBA1A and RELN genes have been associated with these malformations ...

ABSTRACT Heterozygous de novo loss of function variants in the motor domain of KIF5C are associated with a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by infantile‐onset epilepsy, frontal cortical dysplasia, and developmental delays including motor and speech impairments. Previously, only three missense variants in KIF5C were known to be pathogenic.

Characterization of an Inherited Neurologic Syndrome in Toyger Cats with Forebrain Commissural Malformations, Ventriculomegaly and Interhemispheric Cysts. [PDF]
BackgroundIn children, frequent congenital malformations with concomitant agenesis of the corpus callosum are diagnosed by neuroimaging in association with other cerebral malformations, including interhemispheric cysts and ventriculomegaly.

Biallelic Variants in LRRC45 Impair Ciliogenesis and Cause a Severe Neurological Disorder
We report two unrelated families with biallelic variants in LRRC45 and show impaired ciliogenesis in patient cells. We propose that defects in LRRC45 lead to a novel subtype of ciliopathy with developmental abnormalities of the brain. Taken together this study adds to a growing body of evidence for the physiological relevance of distal appendage ...
