microcephaly type 4, primary, autosomal recessive
An autosomal recessive primary microcephaly (OMIM:604321) characterised by a disproportionately small brain and cerebral cortex, with a well-preserved gyral pattern and no major defects in cortical architecture. Microcephaly is defined by a head circumference ≥ 3 standard deviations below the age-related mean; primary microcephaly is further defined by the absence of other syndromic features or significant neurological deficits.Molecular pathology
Caused by defects of CEP152, which encodes a protein involved in centrosome function.
