Brain and cerebellar hemidysplasia in a case with ipsilateral body dysplasia and suspicion of CHILD syndrome.
[child syndrome]
CHILD
syndrome
is
an
acronym
for
Congenital
Hemidysplasia
with
Ichthyosiform
nevus
and
Limb
Defects
.
This
is
an
X-
linked
dominant
disorder
affecting
females
with
early
lethality
in
hemizygous
males
.
The
clinical
features
are
congenital
hemidysplasia
with
ichthyosiform
erythroderma
and
ipsilateral
hypoplasia
of
limbs
and
other
parts
of
the
skeleton
as
well
as
defects
of
the
brain
,
heart
,
kidney
and
lung
.
CHILD
syndrome
is
caused
by
mutations
in
the
NSDHL
(
steroid
dehydrogenase-like
protein
)
gene
at
Xq
28
,
which
affects
cholesterol
biosynthesis
.
A
female
premature
newborn
with
left
side
body
hemidysplasia
and
ipsilateral
defects
of
the
skin
,
visceral
organs
and
brain
is
reported
.
Analysis
of
child
DNA
isolated
from
skin
fibroblasts
showed
missense
mutation
