BACKGROUND: The collagen type IV alpha 1 chain (COL4A1) gene on 13q34 encodes one chain of collagen. COL4A1 mutations have been identified as the cause of a group of multisystemic conditions in humans, including the brain, eyes, kidneys, muscles, and other organs at any age. Brain imaging shows a wide spectrum of abnormalities, including porencephaly, schizencephaly, polymicrogyria focal cortical dysplasia, periventricular leukoencephalopathy, ventricular dysmorphisms, and multiple brain calcifications. However, there are no reports in the literature showing progressive radiological findings in consecutive follow-up scans. Herein, we report three cases of COL4A1 mutations with porencephaly from gestation to five years of age or longer, and describe their clinical and brain imaging findings.
CASE REPORTS: We retrospectively reviewed the clinical symptoms and radiological findings, including brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT), in three female patients with COL4A1 mutations. Their mutations were c.4843G>A (p.Glu1615Lys), c.1835G>A (p.Gly612Asp), and c.3556+1G>T respectively. All the three cases represented porencephaly in the fetal period; severe hemolytic anemia in the neonatal period; and drug-resistant epilepsy, global developmental delay, and spastic quadriplegia in their childhood.
RESULTS: Brain MRI and CT showed progressive white matter atrophy from gestation to five-year follow-up or later. Minor cerebral hemorrhage without symptoms occasionally occurred in one patient. Despite brain changes, the clinical picture was stable during early childhood.
CONCLUSIONS: COL4A1 mutations may cause progressive cerebral atrophy beyond early childhood.
