Genetic and phenotypic spectrum in the NONO‐associated syndromic disorder

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 191, Issue 2, Page 469-478, February 2023., 2023
Abstract The non‐POU domain‐containing octamer‐binding (NONO) protein is involved in multiple steps of gene regulation such as RNA metabolism and DNA repair. Hemizygous pathogenic variants in the NONO gene were confirmed to cause a rare X‐linked syndromic disorder. Through our in‐house diagnostics and subsequent matchmaking, we identified six unrelated

Further expansion and confirmation of phenotype in rare loss of YWHAE gene distinct from Miller–Dieker syndrome

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 191, Issue 2, Page 526-539, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Deletion of 17p13.3 has varying degrees of severity on brain development based on precise location and size of the deletion. The most severe phenotype is Miller–Dieker syndrome (MDS) which is characterized by lissencephaly, dysmorphic facial features, growth failure, developmental disability, and often early death.
