Pontocerebellar hypoplasia (PCH) is a heterogeneous group of rare neurodegenerative disorders caused by genetic mutations and characterised by progressive atrophy of various parts of the brain such as the cerebellum or brainstem (particularly the pons).[1] Where known, these disorders are inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion. There is no known cure for PCH.[2]
