Intellectual developmental disorder with dysmorphic facies and behavioral abnormalities (IDDFBA) is a recently described autosomal dominant entity caused by pathogenic variants, mostly de novo, in the FBXO11 gene. It presents in the first years of life with highly variable clinical manifestations. The main features of IDDFBA include borderline-to-severe intellectual disability, behavioral problems, hypotonia, f...
Congenital cranial dysinnervation disorders (CCDDs) are a heterogeneous group of neurodevelopmental phenotypes caused by a primary disturbance of innervation due to deficient, absent, or misguided cranial nerves. Although some CCDDs genes are known, several clinical phenotypes and their aetiologies remain to be elucidated. We describe a 12-year-old boy with hypotonia, developmental delay, sensorineural hearing ...
Background: High resolution genome-wide copy number analysis, routinely used in clinical diagnosis for several years, retrieves new and extremely rare copy number variations (CNVs) that provide novel candidate genes contributing to disease etiology. The aim of this work was to identify novel genetic causes of neurodevelopmental disease, inferred from CNVs detected by array comparative hybridization (aCGH), in a...
