Two patients with partial deletions of the long arm of chromosome 13, del(13)(13q21-q34) and del(13)(13q22-q33), respectively, multiple congenital anomalies including holoprosencephaly (HPE) and the Dandy-Walker malformation (DWM) are described. The occurrence of HPE and the DWM in both of these patients suggests that, in addition to ZIC2, which is important for normal development of the forebrain, there is at least one other dosage-sensitive gene in 13q22-q33 that plays an important role in brain development. The DWM is anatomically and developmentally distinct from HPE. The presence of a DWM in each of these two patients with partial deletions of the long arm of chromosome 13 suggests that haploinsufficiency at a locus in 13q22-q33 may cause this anomaly. These findings suggest that microdeletions in 13q22-q33 may be found in a proportion of patients with an apparently isolated DWM. Therefore, careful high-resolution cytogenetic analysis (550 band level or greater) of 13q22-q33 may be considered in these patients. Furthermore, future molecular studies of this region may reveal candidate gene loci for the DWM.

D003616 Dandy-Walker Syndrome A congenital abnormality of the central nervous system marked by failure of the midline structures of the cerebellum to develop, dilation of the fourth ventricle, and upward displacement of the transverse sinuses, tentorium, and torcula. Clinical features include occipital bossing, progressive head enlargement, bulging of anterior fontanelle, papilledema, ataxia, gait disturbances, nystagmus, and intellectual compromise.

D016142 Holoprosencephaly Anterior midline brain, cranial, and facial malformations resulting from the failure of the embryonic prosencephalon to undergo segmentation and cleavage. Alobar prosencephaly is the most severe form and features anophthalmia; cyclopia; severe INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY; CLEFT LIP; CLEFT PALATE; SEIZURES; and microcephaly. Semilobar holoprosencepaly is characterized by hypotelorism, microphthalmia, coloboma, nasal malformations, and variable degrees of INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY. Lobar holoprosencephaly is associated with mild (or absent) facial malformations and intellectual abilities that range from mild INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY to normal. Holoprosencephaly is associated with CHROMOSOME ABNORMALITIES.
