Analysis of pedigrees The pedigree of an Italian family from the new group is presented in figure 4. Five members carried mutation COL4A1 p. G1369R and presented with very varied clinical phenotypes. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Congenital Cephalic Disorders In addition to porencephaly there can be other forms of damage to the brain present at birth. [rarediseases.org]

Here we report a family in which three siblings presented severe hypermetropia and porencephaly. Probands' father had severe hypermetropia and bilateral cataracts. [frontiersin.org]

Clinical Testing and Workup Advanced imaging techniques can include computerized tomography (CT) scanning and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). [rarediseases.org]

There are no standardized treatment protocols or guidelines for affected individuals. Due to the rarity of the disease, there are no treatment trials that have been tested on a large group of patients. [rarediseases.org]

Yet, as for all COL4A1 mutations, no specific treatment is currently available, and, due to the variable penetrance, adapted follow-up is challenging. [frontiersin.org]

Drug resistance was reported in 24/36 (66.6%); 8 patients (22.2%) had a “good response” to treatment. No single drug stood out for efficacy data (table 3a/b, doi.org/10.5061/dryad.gj58t0v). Three patients had surgical treatment for epilepsy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Several factors including the small number of identified cases, the lack of large clinical studies, and the possibility of other genes or factors influencing the disorder make it challenging to develop a complete picture of associated symptoms and prognosis [rarediseases.org]

Milder presentations are likely underdiagnosed, due to limited awareness of the full spectrum of neurologic presentations, such that clinicians (in particular those seeing adults) may suspect COL4A1/2 etiology only in the most severe cases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
