A
  1. four genes characterize mutations. Can have different inheritance pattern depending on which is altered.
  2. Most cases cased by mutation in ENAM and inherited n an autosomal dominant patter

Q

Type 0 Arnold Chiari Malformation

A

i. Obstruction caused by small and malformed posterior fossa (small space in skull, found near the brain stem and cerebellum) w/o evidence of cerebral tonsil herniation

g. Symptoms: headaches, neck pain, balance tolerance, muscle weakness, numbness or other abnormal feeling sin arms or legs, ringing or buzzing in ears
i. When hear these complaints may think TMJ…but taking a good medical history is good b/c TMJ problem shouldn’t also have numbness in fingers and legs

what factors affect neural crest cell migration

A

i. Permissive factors: Fibronectin and Laminin
