Mutations in MED12 gene have been described in association with syndromic and non-syndromic X-linked intellectual disability (XLID). Up to date at least three distinct XLID syndromes have been described: FG syndrome, Lujan-Fryns syndrome (LS) and Ohdo syndrome (OSMKB). In the last years, thanks to the massive use of next generation sequencing techniques (NGS) it has been possible to discover at least 16 others MED12 mutations and to expand the phenotype of MED12-related disorders. Here we report three subjects from a large non-consanguineous family presenting with a mild to severe ID, important speech delay, behavior problems, dysmorphic facial features and hearing loss. NGS allows us to detect the MED12 missense variant c.3883C > T (p.(Arg1295Cys)) carried by the three patients. This variant has been reported in 2016 by Hu et al. in one family from a big cohort of XLID families. This clinical report contributes to expanding the phenotype associated with MED12-mutations.

Uterine leiomyomas (uLMs) are the most prevalent benign tumors of the female reproductive system. MED12 is one of the mediator complex subunits that has been implicated in uLMs pathogenesis. Somatic mutations in exon2-MED12 have been found in ~ 70% of uLMs.

Article Synopsis
- * Various MED12-related disorders show distinct patterns based on gender, affecting males and females differently, and involve conditions like Opitz-Kaveggia syndrome and Hardikar syndrome.
- * Recent findings from genetic studies reveal new variants of the MED12 gene that could link it to congenital diaphragmatic hernia in females, suggesting more complex genetic contributions to these disorders than previously thought.

The phenotypes associated with MED12 pathogenic variants are diverse. Male patients usually have missense variants, but the effects of base substitutions on mRNA splicing have not been investigated. Here, we report a Japanese brother with intellectual disability, characteristic facial appearance with blepharophimosis, cleft palate, Fallot tetralogy, vesicoureteral reflux, and deafness.

Marfanoid habitus and intellectual disability (MHID) co-occur in multiple neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD). Among those, Lujan-Fryns, an X-linked genetic disorder associated with variants in MED12 was the first such syndrome identified. Accurate molecular diagnosis for these MHID syndromes remains a challenge due to significant clinical and genetic heterogeneity.

X-linkded Ohdo syndrome is characterized mainly by intellectual disability, delays in reaching development, feeding difficulties, thyroid dysfunction, and dysmorphic appearance with blepharophimosis, immobile mask-like face and bulbous nose. The X-linked Ohdo syndrome is caused by loss of function mutation in MED12 gene on X chromosome. The peripheral blood mononuclear cells from a patient carrying missense mutation of the MED12 gene were reprogrammed using the CytoTune-iPS2.
