MEIS2 sequence variant in a child with intellectual disability and cardiac defects: Expansion of the phenotypic spectrum and documentation of low-level mosaicism in an unaffected parent.

Deletions and pathogenic sequence variants in Myeloid Ecotropic Insertion Site 2 (MEIS2) gene have been reported to cause a recognizable triad of intellectual disability, congenital heart malformations, and palatal defects. To date, 18 individuals with de novo pathogenic sequence variants in MEIS2 have been reported in the literature, most with all three cardinal features. We recently saw a young boy, almost 3 years of age, who was known to have mosaic XYY syndrome (47,XYY [23]/46,XY[7]).
