Brief Summary:
Agenesis of the corpus callosum (ACC) is one of the most frequent cerebral malformations and is now diagnosed prenatally in most cases. Prenatal counseling is then challenging because of uncertain neurodevelopmental outcome, depending on the genetic cause of ACC. Our purpose is to evaluate the feasibility of sequencing known genes responsible for ACC by whole exome sequencing (WES) in trio (fetus and both parents) when ACC is diagnosed during the pregnancy, in order to provide complete and loyal information on the intellectual prognosis for the fetus.
Detailed Description:
Agenesis of the corpus callosum (ACC) is one of the most frequent cerebral malformations. The neurodevelopmental outcome of patients with ACC is extremely variable, ranging from normal intelligence to severe intellectual disability (ID). When ACC is discovered during the prenatal period, prenatal counseling is challenging because of this uncertain neurodevelopmental outcome. Currently, only chromosomal analyses are performed in cases of prenatal diagnoses, which are expected to bring the diagnosis in only few cases. No molecular studies of genes implied in ACC with or without ID are performed. Then, the couples are in the difficult situation of continuing or interrupting the pregnancy without complete information about the aetiology of ACC.
All patients will have a consultation with an obstetrician and consultations with a paediatric neurologist and a geneticist. The geneticist will explain WES and its issues. Both parents will have to provide informed consent for the study.
