The Houge type of X-linked syndromic intellectual developmental disorder (MRXSHG) encompasses a spectrum of neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by intellectual disability (ID), language/speech delay, attention issues, and epilepsy. These conditions arise from hemizygous or heterozygous deletions, along with point mutations, affecting CNKSR2, a gene located at Xp22.12.

Background And Objective: Autosomal recessive genetic disorders pose significant health challenges in regions where consanguineous marriages are prevalent. The utilization of exome sequencing as a frequently employed methodology has enabled a clear delineation of diagnostic efficacy and mode of inheritance within multiplex consanguineous families. However, these aspects remain less elucidated within simplex families.

The molecular basis of mullerian aplasia, also known as Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster Hauser (MRKH) or congenital absence of the uterus and vagina, is largely unknown. We applied a multifaceted genetic approach to studying the pathogenesis of MRKH including exome sequencing of trios and duos, genome sequencing of families, qPCR, RT-PCR, and Sanger sequencing to detect intragenic deletions, insertions, splice variants, single nucleotide variants, and rearrangements in 132 persons with MRKH. We identified two heterozygous variants in ZNHIT3 localized to a commonly involved CNV region at chromosome 17q12 in two different families with MRKH.
