Location 21q22.3
Name neurodevelopmental disorder with hypotonia, microcephaly, and seizures
Corresponding gene ADARB1
Main clinical features
  • global developmental delay with axial hypotonia, inability to sit or walk, and severely impaired intellectual development with absent language, also early-onset intractable seizures that prevent normal development; additional features include feeding difficulties with poor overall growth and microcephaly
  • intractable early infantile-onset seizures, microcephaly, severe-to-profound intellectual disability, axial hypotonia and progressive appendicular spasticity (PMID: 32719099))
  • Genetic determination autosomal recessive
    Function/system disorder mental retardation
    neurology
    Type disease
    Remark(s) . impairments in the RNA-editing ability of the resultant ADAR2 proteins, which are hypothesized to lead to increased Ca2+ permeability of AMPA receptors (PMID: 32220291))
