TLK2 variants were identified as the cause for several neurodevelopmental disorders by impacting brain development. The incidence of mutation in TLK2 is low, which has common clinical features with other rare diseases. Herein, we reported a 5-year-old boy with TLK2 heterozygous mutation who presented distinctive facial features, gastrointestinal diseases, short stature, language delay, autism spectrum disorder, heart diseases, abnormal genitourinary system and skeletal abnormality. Moreover, we reviewed previous reported patients and our case in order to investigate more information on genotype-phenotype correlation and identify significant clinical characteristics for better diagnosis.

Tousled-like kinases 1 and 2 (TLK1 and 2) are cell cycle-regulated serine/threonine kinases that are involved in multiple biological processes. Mutation of TLK1 and 2 confer neurodegenerative diseases. Recent studies demonstrate that TLK1 and 2 are involved in DNA repair.

The Tousled-like kinases 1 and 2 (TLK1/TLK2) regulate DNA replication, repair and chromatin maintenance. TLK2 variants underlie the neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD) 'Intellectual Disability, Autosomal Dominant 57' (MRD57), characterized by intellectual disability and microcephaly. Several TLK1 variants have been reported in NDDs but their functional significance is unknown.

Tropical calcific pancreatitis (TCP) is a juvenile form of non-alcoholic chronic pancreatitis seen exclusively in tropical countries. The disease poses a high risk of complications, including pancreatic diabetes and cancer, leading to significant mortality due to poor diagnosis and ineffective treatments. This study employed whole exome sequencing (WES) of 5 TCP patient samples to identify genetic variants associated with TCP.
