Background: BCL11B variants are associated with intellectual developmental disorder with dysmorphic facies, speech delay, and T-cell abnormalities (IDDSFTA) (OMIN 618092). The clinical features include neurodevelopmental disorders (psychomotor delay, intellectual disability, language delay, autism spectrum features), facial dysmorphisms, immunological manifestations (asthma, allergies and T cells decrease). The aim is to present a IDDSFTA case in Mexican population with a probably pathogenic variant that has not been reported before and to compare it with literature cases.

- 20q11.2 microdeletion syndrome is an extremely rare genetic disorder affecting fewer than 1 in 1,000,000 individuals, linked to abnormalities in specific genes that result in various physical and neurological symptoms.
- A clinical case study of a 5-year-old girl reveals symptoms like hypotonia, microcephaly, and limb deformities, alongside a confirmed genetic deletion through SNP microarray testing.
- The case expands known symptoms of the syndrome by identifying additional features, emphasizing the need for interdisciplinary care to enhance the patient’s overall health and development.
Introduction: Craniosynostosis is a congenital anomaly resulting from the premature fusion of the cranial sutures changing growth patterns of the skull.
Methodology: Focus, scope, target population and clinical questions to be solved were defined. A systematic search for evidence in different databases (Medline, Embase, KoreaMed, Cochrane Library and the website of the World Health Organization) in stages was performed: clinical practice guidelines; systematic reviews, and clinical trials and observational studies; using MeSH, Decs and corresponding free terms, unrestricted language or temporality.
