Overview

The exact pathogenesis of Arnol-Chiari malformation is not fully understood but It is thought that Arnol-Chiari malformation is the result of bone developmental abnormalities or mesodermal growth and differentiation abnormalities. Genes involved in the pathogenesis of Arnold-Chiari malformation include PAX1, PAX2, PAX3, PAX6, FGF2, TBX6, HOX gene, Noggin gene, and EFNB1.
