Name | Proliferative vasculopathy and hydranencephaly-hydrocephaly syndrome; Cerebral proliferative glomeruloid vasculopathy (PGV); Fowler syndrome |
Description | Proliferative vasculopathy and hydranencephaly-hydrocephaly syndrome (PVHH), also known as Fowler syndrome, is an autosomal-recessively inherited prenatal lethal disorder of brain angiogenesis, resulting in abnormally thickened and aberrant perforating vessels leading to hydranencephaly. Mutations and a large deletion in the FLVCR2 gene have been revealed in the families with Fowler syndrome. FLVCR2 encodes a transmembrane transporter of the major facilitator superfamily (MFS) hypothesized to be involved in regulation of growth, calcium exchange, and homeostasis. |
