Nicolaides-Baraitser syndrome is a rare, neuro-developmental disorder caused by heterozygous pathogenic variants in the SMARCA2 gene, involved with chromatin regulation. Cardinal features include intellectual disability, short stature, microcephaly, triangular facies, sparse hair, brachydactyly, prominent interphalangeal joints and seizures. Genetic testing demonstrated a loss within SMARCA2 at 9p24.3 inclusive of basepairs 2094861_2141830 (hg19) in our patient. This case highlights a child with Nicolaides-Baraiter syndrome, a SMARCA2 gene deletion and a novel association of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy.

Telehealth for rare disease care, research, and education across the globe: A review of the literature by the IRDiRC telehealth task force.

Article Synopsis
- The IRDiRC Telehealth Task Force investigated how telehealth can enhance diagnosis, care, research, and education related to rare diseases by reviewing literature from 2017 to 2023 and identifying effective models and strategies.
- The COVID-19 pandemic significantly boosted the adoption of telehealth, highlighting its ability to overcome geographical barriers and improve access to specialized care for rare disease patients.
- While telehealth presents several benefits, such as decentralized clinical research and enhanced education for local healthcare providers, it also has limitations, including challenges in performing physical exams and building personal relationships with healthcare professionals, thus suggesting it should complement traditional care rather than replace it.
Blepharophimosis with intellectual disability and Helsmoortel-Van Der Aa Syndrome share episignature and phenotype.

Blepharophimosis with intellectual disability (BIS) is a recently recognized disorder distinct from Nicolaides-Baraister syndrome that presents with distinct facial features of blepharophimosis, developmental delay, and intellectual disability. BIS is caused by pathogenic variants in SMARCA2, that encodes the catalytic subunit of the superfamily II helicase group of the BRG1 and BRM-associated factors (BAF) forming the BAF complex, a chromatin remodeling complex involved in transcriptional regulation. Individuals bearing variants within the bipartite nuclear localization (BNL) signal domain of ADNP present with the neurodevelopmental disorder known as Helsmoortel-Van Der Aa Syndrome (HVDAS).

Article Synopsis
- Nicolaides-Baraitser syndrome (NCBRS) is a rare genetic condition leading to severe intellectual disabilities and other physical symptoms, diagnosed through clinical signs and the presence of a SMARCA2 mutation.
- The case presented involves a prenatal diagnosis of caudal regression and congenital vertical talus, ultimately linked to a de novo SMARCA2 variant after the pregnancy was terminated.
- This study suggests that these specific physical traits should be recognized as part of the spectrum associated with NCBRS when linked to the SMARCA2 pathogenic variant.

Nicolaides-Baraitser syndrome (NCBRS) is characterized by severe mental retardation, early-onset seizures, short stature, dysmorphic facial features, and sparse hair. Heterozygous mutations in the SMARCA2 gene are the most common cause of NCBRS. Here, we generated an induced pluripotent stem cell line SDQLCHi056-A from a five-year-old girl with NCBRS caused by heterozygous mutation (c.

Nicolaides-Baraitser Syndrome is a rare genetic condition that clinically presents with intellectual disabilities, facial and bone changes, and sparse hair. In Brazil, only one case has been previously reported without genetic confirmation. We present the case of an 8-year-old boy, clinically and genetically diagnosed with Nicolaides-Baraitser Syndrome, who developed autism spectrum disorder characteristics with a formal diagnosis at the age of eight.
