Truncating Variants in RREB1 Cause a Novel RASopathy Syndrome of Congenital Heart Disease, Genitourinary Malformations, and Developmental Delay

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The interstitial 6p microdeletion syndrome is characterized by dysmorphic facies and structural heart, kidney, brain, and musculoskeletal differences. RREB1 haploinsufficiency and consequent abnormal RAS‐MAPK pathway signaling have been proposed as a driver of the disease phenotype; however, apart from a single case report, the phenotype of ...
