XK aprosencephaly syndrome is a very rare syndromic type of cerebral malformation characterized by absence of forebrain or aprosencephaly (absence of telencephalon and diencephalon), oculo-facial anomalies (i.e. ocular hypotelorism or cyclopia, malformation/absence of nasal structures, cleft lip), preaxial limb defects (i.e. hypoplastic hands, absent halluces) and various other anomalies including ambiguous genitalia, imperforate anus, and vertebral anomalies. The syndrome is thought to have an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance.

Definition[edit]

XK aprosencephaly syndrome is a very rare syndromic type of cerebral malformation characterized by absence of forebrain or aprosencephaly (absence of telencephalon and diencephalon), oculo-facial anomalies (i.e. ocular hypotelorism or cyclopia, malformation/absence of nasal structures, cleft lip), preaxial limb defects (i.e. hypoplastic hands, absent halluces) and various other anomalies including ambiguous genitalia, imperforate anus, and vertebral anomalies. The syndrome is thought to have an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance.

Symptoms[edit]

80%-99% of people have these symptoms Microcephaly Microphthalmia Narrow mouth 30%-79% of people have these symptoms Abnormal external genitalia Abnormal morphology of the radius Abnormality of the nares Abnormality of the pharynx Anal atresia 5%-29% of people have these symptoms Atrial septal defect Hypotelorism Polyhydramnios Ventricular septal defect

Less frequent symptoms[edit]

Anencephaly Aprosencephaly Autosomal recessive inheritance Hand oligodactyly

Causes[edit]

No single cause is responsible for aprosencephaly. In 2005, it was found that autosomal recessive mutations of the SIX3 gene located on the short arm of chromosome 2 could result in aprosencephaly. Some cases were linked to trisomy 13, a disorder which also has a correlation with holoprosencephaly.

Diagnosis[edit]

The diagnosis of aprosencephaly is made clinically with the use of skeletal imaging, brain imaging, and autopsy.

Miscarriage[edit]

Almost all fetuses with aprosencephaly naturally miscarry before the third trimester.

NIH genetic and rare disease info[edit]

XK aprosencephaly is a rare disease.
