Structural brain anomalies in patients with FOXG1 syndrome and in Foxg1+/− mice

Abstract: Objective FOXG 1 syndrome is a rare neurodevelopmental disorder associated with heterozygous FOXG 1 variants or chromosomal microaberrations in 14q12. The study aimed at assessing the scope of structural cerebral anomalies revealed by neuroimaging to delineate the genotype and neuroimaging phenotype associations. Methods We compiled 34 patients with a heterozygous (likely) pathogenic FOXG … Show more

“…This has led to new insights, not only regarding therapeutic options, but also for describing further the clinical phenotype in these rare epilepsies, such as the chewing-induced seizures in SYNGAP1 patients, or the bathing epilepsy in SYN1 patients, or the characteristic MRI findings in FOXG1 patients. With this additional clinical information, it may in the future be possible to diagnose patients earlier ( 42 , 46 ).…”

“…Current evidence suggests that CC dysgenesis significantly contributes to cognitive impairment and associative dysfunction in intellectual disability, autism and schizophrenia ( Bedeschi et al, 2006 ; Paul et al, 2007 ; Rao et al, 2011 ; Siffredi et al, 2013 ; Badaruddin et al, 2007 ). Intriguingly, several of the predicted TCF4 interactors have been linked to neurodevelopmental disorders featuring corpus callosum abnormalities ( Pringsheim et al, 2019 ; Filatova et al, 2019 ; Tzeng et al, 2014 ; Snijders Blok et al, 2019 ; Hempel et al, 2016 ), suggesting a pathophysiological relevance of the proposed TCF4 TF network.…”

“…Foxg1 haploinsufficiency also leads to disrupted forebrain development, including a significant reduction in the volume of the neocortex, hippocampus and striatum ( Eagleson et al, 2007 ; Cargnin et al, 2018 ). Foxg1 haploinsufficiency decreases the population of cortical intermediate progenitors via increased p21 expression, leading to thinner neocortices than wild-type controls, specifically in the supragranular layers ( Siegenthaler et al, 2008 ; Cargnin et al, 2018 ; Pringsheim et al, 2019 ). Notably, Foxg1 HET mice show thinner neocortices than wild-type controls, mainly due to reduction of the supragranular layers.…”
