Introduction: Pathogenic variants in the gene are linked to a spectrum of syndromes that exhibit partial clinical overlap. Hemizygous loss-of-function variants are considered lethal in males, while heterozygous loss-of-function variants generally result in oro-facial-digital syndrome type 1. A reported phenotype, Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome type 2, was published once but remains controversial, with many specialists questioning its validity and arguing about its continued listing in the OMIM database.

Methods: In this study, we investigated the allele frequency of the c.
Recent research has sparked a discussion on the spectrum of diseases linked to the gene associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and distal myopathy with vocal cord and pharyngeal weakness (VCPDM). To date, fewer than 50 cases of VCPDM have been reported in the literature. We aim to build upon the work of previous researchers by gathering additional information about VCPDM.

Over 50 genes associated with dominant nonsyndromic hearing impairments were described. Pathogenic variants in the CEACAM16 gene lead to the development of DFNA4B hearing loss.
