Pathogenic COL4A2 variants cause abnormalities in collagen production and can have serious implications for a range of organ systems, most notably the brain. Herein, we describe a large family of first-degree relatives affected by a novel heterozygous variant in COL4A2 (c.3490G.A). A wide disease spectrum is described, from asymptomatic to symptomatic, including 2 children with porencephaly and co-existing juvenile idiopathic polyarthritis. During a subsequent pregnancy, antenatal testing identified a positive fetus. In view of the literature, we review management and genetic counselling dilemmas.
