Heterozygous nonsense ARX mutation in a family highlights the complexity of clinical and molecular diagnosis in case of chromosomal and single gene disorder co‐inheritance

摘要

Corpus callosum agenesis (ACC) is one of the most frequent Central Nervous System (CNS) malformations. However, genetics underlying isolated forms is still poorly recognized. Here, we report on two female familial cases with partial ACC. The proband shows isolated partial ACC and a mild neurodevelopmental phenotype. A fetus from a previous interrupted pregnancy exhibited a complex phenotype including partial ACC and the occurrence of a de novo 17q12 microduplication, which was interpreted as probably disease‐causing.
