Summaries for Microcephaly

About this section
NINDS : 53 Microcephaly is a medical condition in which the circumference of the head is smaller than normal because the brain has not developed properly or has stopped growing.  Microcephaly can be present at birth or it may develop in the first few years of life.  It is most often caused by genetic abnormalities that interfere with the growth of the cerebral cortex during the early months of fetal development.  Babies may also be born with microcephaly if, during pregnancy, their mother abused drugs or alcohol; became infected with a cytomegalovirus, rubella (German measles), varicella (chicken pox) virus, or possibly Zika virus; was exposed to certain toxic chemicals; or had untreated phenylketonuria (PKU, a harmful buildup of the amino acid phenylalanine in the blood).  Microcephaly is associated with Down’s syndrome, chromosomal syndromes, and neurometabolic syndromes. With viral-induced brain injury, such as with the Zika virus, there is often widespread tissue and cell death leading to brain shrinkage rather than simply impaired growth.  The Zika virus is also associated with retinal lesions in about a third of cases, often leading to blindness. Depending on the severity of the accompanying syndrome, children with microcephaly may have impaired cognitive development, delayed motor functions and speech, facial distortions, dwarfism or short stature, hyperactivity, seizures, difficulties with coordination and balance, and other brain or neurological abnormalities.

MalaCards based summary : Microcephaly, also known as microencephaly, is related to mental retardation and microcephaly with pontine and cerebellar hypoplasia and microcephaly 15, primary, autosomal recessive. An important gene associated with Microcephaly is ASPM (Abnormal Spindle Microtubule Assembly), and among its related pathways/superpathways is Mitotic Telophase/Cytokinesis. The drugs Indomethacin and Analgesics have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include brain, heart and bone, and related phenotypes are Decreased CDKN1A mRNA expression and mortality/aging

NIH Rare Diseases : 52 Microcephaly is a rare neurological condition in which a person's head is significantly smaller than expected based on standardized charts. Some cases of microcephaly are detected at birth, while others develop in the first few years of life. Some children with microcephaly have normal intelligence and development. However, microcephaly can be associated with seizures ; developmental delay ; intellectual disability ; problems with movement and balance; feeding difficulties; hearing loss ; and/or vision problems depending on the severity of the condition. Because the growth of the skull is determined by brain growth, the condition often occurs when the brain fails to grow at a normal rate. This may be caused by a variety of genetic abnormalities; exposure to certain viruses (i.e. rubella , toxoplasmosis , and cytomegalovirus ), drugs, alcohol, or toxic chemicals during pregnancy; untreated maternal PKU during pregnancy; and/or severe malnutrition during pregnancy. Although there is no treatment for microcephaly, early intervention may help enhance development and improve quality of life.

CDC : 3 Microcephaly is a condition where a baby’s head is much smaller than expected. During pregnancy, a baby’s head grows because the baby’s brain grows. Microcephaly can occur because a baby’s brain has not developed properly during pregnancy or has stopped growing after birth, which results in a smaller head size. Microcephaly can be an isolated condition, meaning that it can occur with no other major birth defects, or it can occur in combination with other major birth defects.

KEGG : 36 Microcephaly is defined as an occipitofrontal circumference (OFC) 2 or more standard deviations below the mean (2 SD) for age and sex. Microcephaly may be associated with other anomalies, which is termed microcephaly syndrome. To date, a large number of microcephaly syndromes has been reported.
