Severe Headbanging Responsive to Levodopa in a Child With FOXP1 Syndrome
ABSTRACT We report a 9‐year‐old female with FOXP1 syndrome due to a de novo in‐frame deletion in the FOXP1 gene. The child has a severe neurodevelopmental disorder including global developmental delay and autism spectrum disorder. At age 2, she developed severe headbanging, which was progressive and did not respond to multidisciplinary, behavioral ...

ABSTRACT Paternal isodisomy of chromosome 15 (iUPD15) is a recognized cause of Angelman syndrome (AS), accounting for approximately 2%–5% of cases. Additionally, another recognized consequence of iUPD is the unmasking of autosomal recessive disorders. However, reports of recessive disorders resulting from iUPD15 remain scarce in the literature.

Expanding the Phenotypic Spectrum of TXNDC15‐Related Ciliopathies to Include Joubert Syndrome
ABSTRACT Biallelic loss‐of‐function variants in TXNDC15 are a known cause of the perinatally lethal ciliopathy Meckel syndrome (MKS). TXNDC15 encodes an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)‐resident thioredoxin‐domain protein required for ciliary transition zone integrity.

TTC21B: From Modifier to Causative Gene in Joubert Syndrome
ABSTRACT Biallelic pathogenic variants in TTC21B, encoding the retrograde intraflagellar transport protein IFT139, are a known cause of renal and skeletal ciliopathies. Single heterozygous variants in this gene were found to be enriched in a cohort of patients with various ciliopathy phenotypes, including three individuals with Joubert syndrome (JS), a
