Lissencephaly with cerebellar hypoplasia (LCH) is a rare variant form of lissencephaly, its distinctive neuroradiological phenotype being an important investigation clue regarding the potential involved genes, including variants in RELN gene. We report on a case of LCH whose clinical and neuroradiological features led to the identification of a homozygous pathogenic variant in RELN gene that has not been previously reported in the scientific literature.
脑裂畸形合并小脑发育不良(LCH)是脑裂畸形的一种罕见变异型,其独特的神经影像学表型是潜在相关基因(包括 RELN 基因突变)的重要研究线索。我们报告了一例 LCH 病例,其临床和神经影像学特征导致鉴定出 RELN 基因中的纯合致病性变异,该变异此前尚未在科学文献中报道。
