Heterozygous variants disrupting the interaction of ERF with activated ERK1/2 cause microcephaly, developmental delay, and skeletal anomalies.

Heterozygous deleterious null alleles and specific missense variants in the DNA-binding domain of the ETS2 repressor factor (ERF) cause craniosynostosis, while the recurrent p.(Tyr89Cys) missense variant is associated with Chitayat syndrome. Exome and whole transcriptome sequencing revealed the ERF de novo in-frame indel c.

Gonadal Mosaicism for an ASH1L Intragenic Deletion Makes a Bridge Between MRD52 and 1q22 Microdeletion.

ASH1L gene encodes a histone lysine methyltransferase, highly expressed in both embryonic and adult human brain. De novo loss-of-function variants in ASH1L are described in an ultrarare monogenic neurodevelopmental disorder, previously called mental retardation type 52 (MRD52). At the same time, a few cases are reported in the literature and DECIPHER with 1q22 microdeletions spanning ASH1L.

An inherited TBX3 alteration in a prenatal case of ulnar-mammary syndrome: Clinical assessment and functional characterization in Drosophila melanogaster.

Ulnar mammary syndrome (UMS) results from heterozygous variants in the TBX3 gene and impacts limb, tooth, hair, apocrine gland, and genitalia development. The expressivity of UMS is highly variable with no established genotype-phenotype correlations. TBX3 belongs to the Tbx gene family, which encodes transcription factors characterized by the presence of a T-box DNA-binding domain.
