| Remarks |
Clinically affected; diagnosed at birth; congenital bilateral retinal detachments resulting in no functional vision; micrencephaly; chorioretinopathy; moderate intellectual disability; anxiety disorder; irritability; self-injurious behavior- hand-biting (emerged at 2 to 2.5 years of age); trichotillomania; exome sequencing revealed a the donor subject is homozygous for a read-through variant: c.5458T>G (p.Ter1820Gly) in the TUBGCP6 gene; this variant is predicted to incorporate 16 extra amino acids at the C-terminus of TUBGCP6 and/or may accelerate mRNA degradation via non-stop mediated decay [For more information see PMID: 22279524 Genetic Mapping and Exome Sequencing Identify Variants Associated with Five Novel Diseases by Puffenberger et al.] |
