Given that the Dandy-Walker malformation itself is not a pre-requisite to this spectrum of phenotypes, we also suggest a novel term for the NID1-associated disorder in order to give emphasis to this phenotypic variability: "Autosomal Dominant Posterior Fossa Anomalies with Occipital Cephaloceles."

We performed whole-exome sequencing of a family with autosomal dominant Dandy-Walker malformation and occipital cephaloceles and detected a mutation in the extracellular matrix (ECM) protein-encoding gene NID1.
