General Information of Disease (ID: DISXV76G)

Disease Name Pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 2
Synonyms progressive microcephaly from birth extrapyramidal dyskinesia chorea epilepsy; PCH2
Definition
Pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 2 (PCH2) is the most common subtype of pontocerebellar hypoplasia characterized by neonatal onset and a lack of voluntary motor development and later progressive microencephaly, generalized clonus, development of chorea and spasticity. The majority of patients will not reach puberty.
