Description
Summary:Abstract Germline loss-of-function mutations in USP9X have been reported to cause a wide spectrum of congenital anomalies. Here, we report a Japanese girl with a novel heterozygous nonsense mutation in USP9X who exhibited intellectual disability with characteristic craniofacial abnormalities, including hypotelorism, brachycephaly, hypodontia, micrognathia, severe dental crowding, and an isolated submucous cleft palate. Our findings provide further evidence that disruptions in USP9X contribute to a broad range of congenital craniofacial abnormalities.
