DISEASE: Microcephaly with or without chorioretinopathy, lymphedema, or mental retardation
Entry
H01876 Disease
Name
Microcephaly with or without chorioretinopathy, lymphedema, or mental retardation; Microcephaly, lymphedema, chorioretinal dysplasia (MLCRD) syndrome; Chorioretinal dysplasia, microcephaly, and mental retardation (CDMMR) syndrome
Microcephaly with or without chorioretinopathy, lymphoedema, or mental retardation (MCLMR) is a rare autosomal dominant or sporadic condition characterised by variable expression of microcephaly, eye problems including chorioretinopathy, congenital lymphoedema of the lower limbs, and mild-to-moderate intellectual disability. Historically, MCLMR was divided into two distinct entities: microcephaly, lymphedema, chorioretinal dysplasia (MLCRD) syndrome, and chorioretinal dysplasia, microcephaly, and mental retardation (CDMMR) syndrome. Recently, heterozygous mutations in KIF11, a gene encoding a critical spindle motor protein of the Kinesin family, have been reported in individuals with MLCRD, and in individuals with CDMMR. This finding is suggestive of a single clinically variable spectrum.
