M-CMTC syndrome

Inheritance patterns and prenatal diagnosis

Inheritance patterns
To date, about 80 individuals with M-CMTC syndrome have been reported worldwide, although the condition is being recognised more frequently and is probably relatively common. Those individuals with milder features are probably underreported. M-CMTC is sporadic, and usually affects only one member of a family. The cause of the condition is so far unknown.

Prenatal diagnosis
No specific tests available. Ultrasound scan abnormalities including increased amniotic fluid, large head size and signs of increased fluid around the baby have been observed in some affected pregnancies.
