Heterogenous group of neurodegenerative conditions associated with biallelic PNPLA6 gene variants with childhood or adult onset symptoms. Oliver-McFarlane syndrome (OMFS) though is a rare congenital disorder characterised by trichomegaly, severe chorioretinal atrophy and multiple pituitary hormone deficiencies. Congenital hypogonadism is present in half of patients. Low birth weight, preterm delivery and being small for gestational age has been reported as a feature of OMFS. One case of microcephaly has been reported. Overall, limited prenatal phenotypic information for all reported cases of OMFS but associated growth restriction has the potential to be detected antenatally.

33818269 - report two unrelated patients with Oliver McFarlane syndrome with biallelic PNPLA6 variants who were born pre-term and small for gestational age.

32758583 Liu et al 2020 - report one boy with Oliver McFarlane syndrome diagnosed with microcephaly and small for gestational age after delivery at 35 weeks.
