Long‐Term Follow Up of Two Patients With Variants in the Cluster 1031‐1159 of TRRAP Gene: Expanding the Phenotype of Developmental Delay With or Without Dysmorphic Facies and Autism

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The transformation/transcription domain‐associated protein (TRRAP) gene encodes a large multidomain protein, a member of the phosphatidylinositol 3‐kinase‐related kinase (PIKK) family. TRRAP is a component of the histone acetyltransferase (HAT) complex, and it plays an important role in gene transcription, DNA repair, and cell‐cycle regulation.

The Diagnosis That Arrived Decades Late: Living Without and Then With Myhre Syndrome

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Myhre syndrome (MIM #139210) is a rare multisystem disorder first described in 1981, characterized by short stature, neurodevelopmental delay, joint contractures, and cardiopulmonary complications. Its molecular basis, recurrent pathogenic variants in SMAD4, was not discovered until 2011. This narrative is based on a review of medical records,

Spectrum of Congenital Anomalies in Myhre Syndrome—Insights Into Effects Brought by Altered TGF‐β Signaling via Gain‐of‐Function Variants in SMAD4

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Myhre syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by progressive multisystem involvement. Gain‐of‐function missense heterozygous variants affecting the Ile500 residue and Arg496 residue of the SMAD4 gene are implicated in this condition.
