The BCAP31 gene is located between SLC6A8, associated with X-linked creatine transporter deficiency, and ABCD1, associated with X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy. Recently, loss-of-function mutations in BCAP31 were reported in association with severe developmental delay, deafness and dystonia. We characterized the break points in eight patients with deletions of SLC6A8, BCAP31 and/or ABCD1 and studied the genotype-phenotype correlations. The phenotype in patients with contiguous gene deletions involving BCAP31 overlaps with the phenotype of isolated BCAP31 deficiency. Only deletions involving both BCAP31 and ABCD1 were associated with hepatic cholestasis and death before 1 year, which might be explained by a synergistic effect. Remarkably, a patient with an isolated deletion at the 3'-end of SLC6A8 had a similar severe phenotype as seen in BCAP31 deficiency but without deafness. This might be caused by the disturbance of a regulatory element between SLC6A8 and BCAP31.

Article Synopsis
- The BCAP31 gene at Xq28 encodes BAP31, which is involved in transporting proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus, with mutations linked to severe neurological disorders in males.
- Pathogenic variants result in a spectrum of symptoms, including profound intellectual disability, dystonia, deafness, and a syndrome called deafness, dystonia, and cerebral hypomyelination (DDCH), with females often being asymptomatic or only mildly affected.
- The study identifies 17 new families with BCAP31-related conditions, confirming that males with loss-of-function variants have a more severe phenotype, while females can exhibit a range of neurological symptoms, and suggests additional complications like elevated liver enzymes in male

Autism is a common neurodevelopmental disorder estimated to affect 1 in 68 children. Many studies have shown the role of copy number variants (CNVs) as a major contributor in the etiology of autism with the overall detection rate of about 10-15 % and over 20 % when syndromic forms of autism exist. In this study, we used array CGH to identify CNVs in 15 Iranian patients with autism.

Genetic heterogeneity has made the identification of genes related to hearing impairment a challenge. In the absence of a clear phenotypic aetiology, recurrence risk estimates are often based on family segregation and may be imprecise. We profiled by oligonucleotide array-CGH patients presenting non-syndromic hearing loss with presumptive autosomal recessive (n = 50) or autosomal dominant (n = 50) patterns of inheritance.

The contiguous ABCD1/DXS1375E (BCAP31) deletion syndrome (CADDS) is a rare X-linked contiguous gene deletion syndrome with a severe clinical phenotype that includes marked delays, significant growth failure, liver dysfunction, and early death. The X-linked creatine transporter deficiency is a considerably more common and a cause of X-linked intellectual disability; however, multi-exon deletions of the creatine transporter are rare. We report the fifth case of CADDS, who also has a deletion of the X-linked creatine transporter.
