We report on two apparently unrelated girls with Johanson-Blizzard syndrome (JBS), in both children caused by a homozygous IVS26+5G>A mutation in the UBR1 gene. In both cases the parents are consanguineous and more sibs are affected. The somewhat mild phenotype (with no or slight mental retardation) in these two JBS families might be explained by residual UBR1 activity. One case has a dilated cardiomyopathy, a symptom only rarely reported in JBS, but of important clinical significance.

Heterozygous UBR5 variants result in a neurodevelopmental syndrome with developmental delay, autism, and intellectual disability.

E3 ubiquitin ligases have been linked to developmental diseases including autism, Angelman syndrome (UBE3A), and Johanson-Blizzard syndrome (JBS) (UBR1). Here, we report variants in the E3 ligase UBR5 in 29 individuals presenting with a neurodevelopmental syndrome that includes developmental delay, autism, intellectual disability, epilepsy, movement disorders, and/or genital anomalies. Their phenotype is distinct from JBS due to the absence of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency and the presence of autism, epilepsy, and, in some probands, a movement disorder.

Johanson-Blizzard syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterised by various systemic manifestations, including sensorineural hearing loss. We present a unique case of a 3.5-year-old girl with genetically confirmed Johanson-Blizzard syndrome, who exhibited typical features alongside rare radiological findings of cystic dilation of the cochlea and hypoplastic modiolus.

Johanson-Blizzard syndrome (JBS) is an autosomal recessive disorder. We established an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of a 2-year-old boy with Johanson-Blizzard syndrome carrying a compound heterozygous mutation of c.3167C>G (p.

It is characterized by exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, craniofacial deformities, sensorineural hearing loss, and a broad variety of intellectual disabilities. The aim of our study is to report four pediatric cases (three of which are siblings, and the fourth patient is unrelated) that presented some features of JBS.

Johanson-Blizzard syndrome (JBS) is a rare hereditary autosomal recessive disorder caused by a mutation in the ubiquitin protein ligase E3 component n-recognin 1 (UBR1) gene. This syndrome is characterized by the following typical clinical features: hypoplasia or aplasia of the alae nasi, congenital scalp defects, sensorineural hearing loss, hypothyroidism, growth retardation, psychomotor retardation, imperforate anus, genitourinary anomalies, and atypical hair patterns. Here, we describe a case of a 12-year-old girl with JBS of consanguineous parents.
