Pontocerebellar hypoplasia
MONDO:0020135Pontocerebellar hypoplasias (PCH) are a rare heterogeneous group of diseases characterized by hypoplasia and atrophy and/or early neurodegeneration of the cerebellum and pons. Eight subtypes named type 1-8 have been described, generally inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern.
Also known as: PCH, pontocerebellar hypoplasia, pontoneocerebellar atrophy, pontoneocerebllar hypoplasia, isolated pontocerebellar hypoplasia, nonsyndromic pontocerebellar hypoplasia

Gene sequencing uncovers mysterious fetal malformations
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis study tested whether a powerful DNA test called high-throughput exome sequencing can find genetic causes of multiple birth defects in fetuses when standard exams fail. Researchers studied 100 fetuses with at least two malformations and no prior diagnosis. They compared the n…
