Although the chromosomal abnormalities [a translocation t(1;20), a translocation t(1;2), a 2.2 Mb deletion in 1p31-p32, a 12 Mb deletion in 1p31-p32] differed and the deleted regions comprised different genes among the five patients, only NFIA gene was either disrupted or fully deleted in all five patients, thus underpinning the association between NFIA haplo-insufficiency and the common CNS abnormalities (hypoplasia of corpus callosum, ventriculomegaly and hydrocephalus). The gene discussed is NFIA; the disease is Hydrocephalus.
