摘要

Macrocephaly-capillary malformation (M-CM) is a genetic syndrome of unknown etiology characterized by an enlarged head circumference and patchy, reticular capillary malformation. We describe the clinical features of 13 cases, report on the genome-wide Copy Number Variation characterization of these patients, analyze the main clinical features of this syndrome and propose a modification of the current diagnostic criteria: the inclusion of both overgrowth/asymmetry and neuroimaging alterations as major criteria.
