Any spastic quadriplegia in which the cause of the disease is a mutation in the ADD3 gene.
Features include always present findings: Microcephaly, Global developmental delay, and Spasticity; and common findings: Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia), Delayed speech and language development, and Abnormal pyramidal sign. 17 total HPO annotations.
Organ System | Phenotype Count | Example Features |
|---|---|---|
Brain and nerves | 9 | Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia), Spastic diplegia, Spastic tetraplegia |
ADD3 encodes adducin 3 (706 aa). Membrane-cytoskeleton-associated protein that promotes the assembly of the spectrin-actin network. Plays a role in actin filament capping. Binds to calmodulin (Probable). Highest expression in Nerve Tibial (184.5 TPM) and Thyroid (89.2 TPM).
Cerebral palsy, spastic quadriplegic, 3 is associated with mutations in the ADD3 gene on chromosome 10.
ADD3 is classified as a druggable target (Kinase category) with score 2.6.
4 pathogenic variants reported in ADD3 in ClinVar, including hotspot variant NP_001112.2:p.Gly367Asp (2-star review).
Genetic testing for ADD3 is available. Testing is considered confirmatory for diagnosis.
Biomarker and diagnostic research for cerebral palsy, spastic quadriplegic, 3 has been reported in the published literature.
Phenotype severity distribution: 3 always present features, 3 common features.
