DISRUPTION OF PHF21A CAUSES SYNDROMIC INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY WITH CRANIOFACIAL ANOMALIES, EPILEPSY, HYPOTONIA, AND NEUROBEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS INCLUDING AUTISM

Disruption of PHF21A causes syndromic intellectual disability with craniofacial anomalies, epilepsy, hypotonia, and neurobehavioral problems including autism

Abstract Background PHF21A has been associated with intellectual disability and craniofacial anomalies based on its deletion in the Potocki-Shaffer syndrome region at 11p11.2 and its disruption in three patients with balanced translocations.In addition, three patients with de novo truncating mutations in PHF21A were reported recently.Here, we analy
