Case Report: Diffuse Polymicrogyria Associated With a Novel ADGRG1 Variant.

ABSTRACT: Pathogenic variants of the ADGRG1 gene are associated with bilateral frontoparietal polymicrogyria, defined radiologically by polymicrogyria with an anterior-posterior gradient, pontine and cerebellar hypoplasia and patchy white matter abnormalities. We report a novel homozygous ADGRG1 variant with atypical features. The patient presented at 8 months of age with motor delay, esotropia, hypotonia with hyporeflexia and subsequently developed refractory epilepsy. At the last assessment, aged 12 years, head control, sitting and language were not acquired. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed diffuse polymicrogyria with relative sparing of the anterior temporal lobes, without an anterior-posterior gradient, diffuse hypomyelination and pontine and cerebellar hypoplasia.
