De Novo Variants in PPFIA2 in Individuals With Neurodevelopmental Disorders

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Liprin‐α2, encoded by PPFIA2, belongs to the family of Liprin‐α proteins which constitute major synaptic scaffolds participating in the assembly and maturation of synapses. Heterozygous de novo variants in PPFIA2 were identified by exome or genome sequencing in two unrelated individuals with a neurodevelopmental disorder.

De Novo Heterozygous ZFX Frameshift Variant in a Female With an X‐Linked Neurodevelopmental Disorder

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Germline ZFX variants are associated with an X‐linked neurodevelopmental disorder, with 14 males and 16 females reported to date. We describe a 20‐year‐old female with a heterozygous ZFX frameshift variant, p.(Met666Valfs*2), identified by genome sequencing, previously reported in an affected male.
