Broad neurodevelopmental features and cortical anomalies associated with a novel de novo KMT2A variant in Wiedemann-Steiner syndrome.

2021

Abstract Wiedemann-Steiner syndrome (WDSTS) is a rare genetic disorder including developmental delay/intellectual disability (DD/ID), hypertrichosis cubiti, short stature, and distinctive facial features, caused by mutation in KMT2A gene, which encodes a histone methyltransferase (H3K4) that regulates chromatin-mediated transcription. Different neurodevelopmental phenotypes have been described within the WDSTS spectrum, including a peculiar Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASDs) subtype in some affected individuals. Here, we report a 9-year-old Caucasian male found by next-generation panel sequencing to carry a novel heterozygous de novo KMT2A frameshift variant (NM_001197104.2:c.4433delG; p. Arg1…
