Severe hypotonia-psychomotor developmental delay-strabismus-cardiac septal defect syndrome is a rare, genetic, non-dystrophic congenital myopathy disorder characterized by a neonatal-onset of severe generalized hypotonia associated with mild psychomotor delay, congenital strabismus with abducens nerve palsy, and atrial and/or ventricular septal defects. Cryptorchidism is commonly reported in male patients and muscle biopsy typically reveals increased variability in muscle fiber size.
Features include sometimes findings: Increased variability in muscle fiber diameter. 17 total HPO annotations.

CCDC174 encodes coiled-coil domain containing 174 (467 aa). Probably involved in neuronal development Highest expression in Ovary (33.8 TPM) and Uterus (31.0 TPM).
Severe hypotonia-psychomotor developmental delay-strabismus-cardiac septal defect syndrome is associated with mutations in the CCDC174 gene on chromosome 3.
CCDC174 is classified as a druggable target with score 0.0.
Genetic testing for CCDC174 is available. Testing is considered confirmatory for diagnosis.
Estimated prevalence: <1 in 1,000,000 (VERY_RARE).
No clinical trials have been registered for severe hypotonia-psychomotor developmental delay-strabismus-cardiac septal defect syndrome.
19 publications have been identified in PubMed for severe hypotonia-psychomotor developmental delay-strabismus-cardiac septal defect syndrome. Research spans Case Report / Case Series (74%), Epidemiology / Natural History (11%), and Other (5%).
