Classification of Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging Abnormalities and Spectrum of Neurological Findings in a Cohort with Copy Number Variation-Related Disorders
CNV-related disorders should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with brain MRI findings suspicious for metabolic disorders. Brain MRI differences in patients with the same chromosomal deletion can be explained by the second-hit hypothesis. Additional single nucleotide variations and epigenetic factors in these cases may have led to the involvement of different regions of the brain. Revealing the phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of cases in rare disorders will contribute to the widespread use of precision medicine and genetic treatment approaches in the near future.
