Agenesis of the corpus callosum with peripheral neuropathy; accpn
Charlevoix disease
Andermann syndrome
Polyneuropathy, sensorimotor, with or without agenesis of the corpus callosum
Corpus callosum, agenesis of, with neuronopathy
A number sign (#) is used with this entry because autosomal recessive agenesis of the corpus callosum with peripheral neuropathy (ACCPN), also known as Andermann syndrome, is caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous mutation in the SLC12A6 gene (604878) on chromosome 15q14.
DESCRIPTION
Andermann syndrome is an autosomal recessive motor and sensory neuropathy with agenesis of the corpus callosum associated with developmental and neurodegenerative defects and dysmorphic features. It has a high prevalence in the French Canadian population in the Charlevoix and Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region of Quebec (Uyanik et al., 2006). Dupre et al. (2003) provided a comprehensive review of the disorder. Dobyns (1996) reviewed the many genetic causes of agenesis of the corpus callosum.
CLINICAL FEATURES
Naiman and Fraser (1955) described 2 sisters, and Ziegler (1958) described 2 brothers with agenesis of the corpus callosum associated with mental and physical retardation. Andermann et al. (1972) observed 2 brothers with mental retardation, areflexia and paraparesis. The authors postulated an anterior horn cell disease. The clinical picture was the same as in the sisters reported by Naiman and Fraser (1955) and the 2 families were French Canadian from the Charlevoix County in Quebec. Andermann et al. (1977) extended these studies to identify 45 patients in 24 sibships, descendants from a couple married in Quebec City, Charlevoix County, in 1657. Brain CT imaging demonstrated agenesis of the corpus callosum. Cao et al. (1977) reported 3 sibs, a male and 2 females, with severe mental retardation, spastic quadriplegia, microcephaly, and infantile spasms. Two sibs had agenesis of the corpus callosum on pneumoencephalogram. Other reports of familial agenesis of the corpus callosum consistent with autosomal recessive inheritance were published by Shapira and Cohen (1973) and Castro Gago et al. (1982). The former report concerned 2 affected sisters whose parents were more closely related than first cousins. The latter report concerned 2 sisters and 2 daughters of a paternal uncle of their father. The 2 sisters, studied at 6 years and 15 months of age, respectively, had progressive psychomotor regression, microcephaly, optic atrophy and seizures. CT scan showed absence of the corpus callosum, subcortical atrophy and gray substance heterotopy at the level of the ventricles. Larbrisseau et al. (1984) studied 15 cases and described a characteristic dysmorphic facies. The authors observed that progressive motor neuropathy led to loss of ambulation by adolescence and progressive scoliosis. Hauser et al. (1993) reported cases of agenesis of the corpus callosum with neuronopathy in a brother and sister in Vienna. Uyanik et al. (2006) reported 3 unrelated patients with Andermann syndrome; 1 was German and 2 Turkish. The German child presented at age 13 days with feeding difficulties and hypotonia. Over the next few months, she was found to have complete absence of the corpus callosum with ventricular enlargement and areflexia with an axonal and demyelinating peripheral neuropathy. Lumbar puncture showed increased CSF protein. At age 3 years, she had marked psychomotor retardation with inability to walk or speak. Mild facial dysmorphism was present, including hypertelorism, short nose, broad nasal root, and downplaced first toe and thumb. The second child, born of consanguineous Turkish parents, presented with diffuse hypotonic weakness, psycho ...
