 A rare neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by the classic triad of agenesis of the corpus callosum (total or partial), central chorioretinal lacunae and infantile spasms that affects almost exclusively females & rarely in 47 XXY males. However Aicardi syndrome is now recognized as a more complex, pleiotropic disorder with an expanded spectrum of phenotypical features. A rare neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by the classic triad of agenesis of the corpus callosum (total or partial), central chorioretinal lacunae and infantile spasms that affects almost exclusively females & rarely in 47 XXY males.

-Nearly all reported cases of Aicardi syndrome are sporadic and in females. The disorder is believed to result from new gene mutations. Aicardi syndrome is classified as an X-linked dominant condition[{{ :content:xlinkdominant.jpeg?300|Credit:U.S National Library of Medicine}}. In 2015 mutation in gene [[https://www.genecards.org/cgi-bin/carddisp.pl?gene=TEAD1|TEAD1]] was found to be associated with Aicardi syndrome[(:cite:>{{pubmed>long:26091538}})]. This was the first genetic mutation associated with Aicardi syndrome to be reported. This study also found that TEAD1 mutations may be present in males.+  * Nearly all reported cases of Aicardi syndrome are sporadic and in females and believed to result from new gene mutations
