Background: Cyclin-dependent kinase 13 plays a critical role in the regulation of gene transcription. Recent evidence suggests that heterozygous variants in CDK13 are associated with a syndromic form of mental deficiency and developmental delay, which is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner.
Methods: A mentally retarded mother (33-year-old) and son (10-year-old boy) in our hospital with CDK13 variant (c.2149 (exon 4) G>A. p.Gly717Arg) were detected by whole-exome sequencing (WES). All published CDK13 variant syndrome cases as of November 11, 2021, were searched, and their clinical information was recorded and summarized.
Results: We studied two patients in a Chinese family with a heterozygous constitutional CDK13 variant (c.2149 (exon 4) G>A. p.Gly717Arg), exhibiting the classical characteristics of dysmorphic facial features and intellectual developmental disorder (CHDFIDD, OMIM # 617360), without congenital heart defects. This is the first reported case of an adult patient with a CDK13 variant that gave birth to the next generation with the same variant. Preimplantation genetic testing for monogenic disease (PGT-M) was performed for the proband and her husband with full informed consent and successfully blocked the inheritance of the disease.
Conclusion: Our study is of great significance for molecular diagnosis and genetic counseling of patients with CDHFIDD and extends the variant spectrum of CDK13.

Congenital heart disease (CHD) has an incidence of approximately 1%. Over the last decade, sequencing studies including large cohorts of individuals with CHD have begun to unravel the genetic mechanisms underpinning CHD. This includes the identification of variants in cyclin-dependent kinase 13 (CDK13), in individuals with syndromic CHD.

Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to identify the genetic causes and associations between genotype and phenotype in patients with unsolved ocular congenital cranial dysinnervation disorders (oCCDDs).
- Researchers analyzed data from 467 individuals with oCCDDs using exome or genome sequencing, revealing pathogenic variants in 43 probands and variants of uncertain significance in 70 others.
- The findings highlight the genetic diversity of oCCDDs and suggest that they may overlap with other genetic conditions, paving the way for further research on potential genetic links.

Introduction: Epilepsy is a common multifactorial neurological disease usually diagnosed during childhood. In this study, we present the contribution of consecutive genetic testing to the genetic diagnostic yield of childhood epilepsy.
Methods: In 100 children (53 female, 47 male) with epilepsy, targeted sequencing (TS) and clinical exome sequencing (CES) were performed.

Cyclin-dependent kinase 13 (CDK13)-related disorder is a rare autosomal dominant disease caused by pathogenic variants in the gene. This disorder was found to be related to several clinical features, including structural cardiac anomalies, developmental delay, anomalies of the corpus callosum, and a variety of facial dysmorphisms. In addition, feeding difficulties and neonatal hypotonia might also present.

Purpose: To identify genetic etiologies and genotype/phenotype associations for unsolved ocular congenital cranial dysinnervation disorders (oCCDDs).
Methods: We coupled phenotyping with exome or genome sequencing of 467 pedigrees with genetically unsolved oCCDDs, integrating analyses of pedigrees, human and animal model phenotypes, and variants to identify rare candidate single nucleotide variants, insertion/deletions, and structural variants disrupting protein-coding regions. Prioritized variants were classified for pathogenicity and evaluated for genotype/phenotype correlations.
