Aicardi syndrom

Aicardi syndrom is caused by abnormalities in genes linked to brain development. It is an X-linked dominant condition, predominantly affecting females. Males with the mutation are unlikely to survive. This rare congenital neurological condition occurs in one in 100,000 live births in the United States, one in 93,000 in the Netherlands, and one in 110,000 in Northern Ireland. Approximately 1,000 cases have been documented in the United States, with an estimated 4,000 cases reported globally. Currently, there is no comprehensive data or published research on the incidence or prevalence of Aicardi syndrome in Malaysia.
