RESUMO
We describe association of olfactory bulb and olfactory tract abnormalities in a child with acrocallosal syndrome caused by kinesin family membrane 7 (KIF7) mutation in sonic hedgehog pathway. The child also had fontanellar bone in the anterior fontanelle, short sagittal suture, sagittal synostosis, hippocampal malrotation and Joubert malformation. Fontanellar bone has been described in GLI3 mutation and mutant mice models but has not been reported in KIF7 mutation. We briefly review the role of sonic hedgehog pathway and its components KIF7 and GLI3 in forebrain and olfactory system development and also describe olfactory system abnormality in a child with GLI3 mutation.
