About this section
UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot : 75 Microcephaly, progressive, with seizures and cerebral and cerebellar atrophy: A severe, autosomal recessive, neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive microcephaly, severe seizures in infancy, atrophy of the cerebral cortex and cerebellar vermis, and mild atrophy of the cerebellar hemispheres, resulting in profoundly delayed development and hypotonia.

MalaCards based summary : Microcephaly, Progressive, with Seizures and Cerebral and Cerebellar Atrophy, is also known as microcephaly, progressive, seizures, and cerebral and cerebellar atrophy. An important gene associated with Microcephaly, Progressive, with Seizures and Cerebral and Cerebellar Atrophy is QARS (Glutaminyl-TRNA Synthetase), and among its related pathways/superpathways are Viral mRNA Translation and tRNA Aminoacylation. Affiliated tissues include cortex, and related phenotypes are low-set ears and hyperreflexia

OMIM : 57 Progressive microcephaly with seizures and cerebral and cerebellar atrophy is a severe autosomal recessive neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorder with onset in the first days or months of life. Patients are born with microcephaly and soon develop intractable seizures, resulting in profoundly delayed development and hypotonia (summary by Zhang et al., 2014). (615760)
