Abstract: Hypothalamic hamartoma (HH) is a rare benign developmental brain lesion commonly associated with a well characterized epilepsy phenotype. Most individuals with HH are non-syndromic without additional developmental anomalies nor a family history of disease. Nonetheless, HH is a feature of Pallister-Hall (PHS) and Oro-Facial-Digital Type VI (OFD VI) syndromes, both characterized by additional developmental anomalies. Initial genetic of analysis HH began with syndromic HH, where germline inherited or de novo variants in GLI3, encoding a central transcription factor in the sonic hedgehog (Shh) signalling pathway, were identified in most individuals with PHS. Following these discoveries in syndromic HH, the hypothesis that post-zygotic mosaicism in related genes may underly non-syndromic HH was tested. We discuss the identified mosaic variants within individuals with non-syndromic HH, review the analytical methodologies and diagnostic yields, and explore understanding of the functional role of the implicated genes with respect to Shh signalling, and cilia development and function. We also outline future challenges in studying non-syndromic HH and suggest potential novel strategies to interrogate brain mosaicism in HH.
