An Adult Presentation of KIF11‐Related MCLID Syndrome: Case Report and 40‐Year Follow‐Up

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pathogenic variants in KIF11 are linked to autosomal dominant syndromes with microcephaly, chorioretinopathy, lymphedema, and intellectual disability (MCLID), though adult presentations remain underreported. We report a 42‐year‐old female presenting with a de novo single‐amino acid in‐frame deletion in the KIF11 gene (c.1294_1296del; p ...

Systematic Cardiac Phenotyping of Patients With Copy Number Variants in the 15q11.2 Breakpoint 1 to Breakpoint 2 Region: A Retrospective Cohort Study From Nine Pediatric Cardiac Centers

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microdeletions impacting 15q11.2 breakpoint (BP) 1 to BP2, adjacent to the Prader–Willi critical region, have previously described neuropsychiatric associations, with potential low penetrance presentations of congenital heart disease (CHD) also identified.

Spinal Involvement in Charge Syndrome: Implications for Management

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT CHARGE syndrome (OMIM #214800) is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutations in the CHD7 gene in most cases. Although originally defined by the CHARGE acronym (coloboma, heart defects, choanal atresia, growth restriction, genital hypoplasia, and ear anomalies), the recognized phenotype has expanded considerably to include highly ...

UBE3A Dosage Imbalance as a Molecular Framework Linking Angelman Syndrome and Dup15q‐Associated Autism Phenotypes

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT UBE3A is a dosage‐sensitive HECT E3 ubiquitin ligase whose neuronal expression is shaped by genomic imprinting at the 15q11.2‐q13 locus. Opposite directions of UBE3A dosage imbalance contribute to distinct neurodevelopmental phenotypes: loss of maternal UBE3A underlies Angelman syndrome, whereas maternally derived 15q11.2‐q13 copy‐number gains,
