Hydrocephalus, congenital communicating, 1(HYDCC1; HYC4)

MedGen UID:
1684770
•Concept ID:
C5231454
•
Disease or Syndrome
Synonym: HYDROCEPHALUS, CONGENITAL, 4
 
Gene (location): TRIM71 (3p22.3)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0032862
OMIM®: 618667

Definition

Congenital hydrocephalus-4 (HYC4) is characterized by inadequate passage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from its point of production to its point of absorption, in the absence of obstruction (communicating hydrocephalus). Patients undergo surgical shunting at birth because of extreme ventriculomegaly. Patients have neurodevelopmental delay and epilepsy (Furey et al., 2018). [from OMIM]

Seizure
MedGen UID:
20693
•Concept ID:
C0036572
•
Sign or Symptom
A seizure is an intermittent abnormality of nervous system physiology characterized by a transient occurrence of signs and/or symptoms due to abnormal excessive or synchronous neuronal activity in the brain.

Neurodevelopmental delay
MedGen UID:
868344
•Concept ID:
C4022738
•
Finding
Neurodevelopmental delay (NDD) refers to delays in the maturation of the brain and central nervous system; infants and young children with NDD may experience delays in the development of one or more skills including gross motor abilities, fine-motor coordination, language abilities and ability to solve increasingly complex problems.
