  • * Researchers identified 17 new variants of the TRRAP gene in 24 patients, linking specific gene mutations to two clinical spectrums: one leads to multi-systemic syndromes with structural malformations and intellectual disabilities, while the other is associated with autism spectrum disorder and epilepsy.
  • * Both clinical groups exhibited distinct facial features and showed altered gene expression related to neuronal function in skin fibroblasts, suggesting a strong genotype-phenotype correlation that can aid in clinical evaluations of TRRAP variants
