Abstract
SATB2-associated syndrome (SAS, glass syndrome, OMIM#612313) is a neurodevelopmental autosomal dominant disorder with frequent craniofacial abnormalities including palatal and dental anomalies. To assess the role of Satb2 in craniofacial development, we analyzed mutant mice at different stages of development. Here, we show that Satb2 is broadly expressed in early embryonic mouse development including the mesenchyme of the second and third arches. Satb2-/- mutant mice exhibit microglossia, a shortened lower jaw, smaller trigeminal ganglia, and larger thyroids. We correlate these findings with the detailed clinical phenotype of four individuals with SAS and remarkable craniofacial phenotypes with one requiring mandibular distraction in childhood. We conclude that the mouse and patient data presented support less well-described phenotypic aspects of SAS including mandibular morphology and thyroid anatomical/functional issues.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Pseudohypoaldosteronism type 1A (PHA1A) is caused by haploinsufficiency of the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR). Heterozygous small insertions/deletions, transitions, and/or transversions within NR3C2 comprise the majority (85%-90%) of pathogenic copy number variants. Structural chromosomal abnormalities, contiguous gene deletion syndromes, and microdeletions are infrequent. We describe a neonate with PHA1A due to a novel NR3C2 microdeletion involving exons 1-2. METHODS Literature review identified 39 individuals with PHA1A due to NR3C2 microdeletions. Transmission modality, variant description(s), testing method(s), exon(s) deleted, and affected functional domain(s) were characterized. RESULTS In total, 40 individuals with NR3C2 microdeletions were described: 19 involved contiguous exons encoding a single MR domain; 21 involved contiguous exons encoding multiple MR domains. Transmission modality frequency was familial (65%), de novo (20%), or unknown (15%). Sequencing (Sanger or short-read next-generation) failed to detect microdeletions in 100% of tested individuals (n = 38). All were detected using deletion/duplication testing modalities. In 2 individuals, only microarray-based testing was performed; microdeletions were detected in both cases. CONCLUSION Initial testing for PHA1A should rely on sequencing to detect the most common genetic alterations. Deletion/duplication analysis should be performed when initial testing is nondiagnostic. Most NR3C2 microdeletions are parentally transmitted, thus highlighting the importance of familial genetic testing and counseling.

Abstract
Alterations in SATB2 result in SATB2-associated syndrome (SAS; Glass syndrome, OMIM 612313), an autosomal dominant multisystemic disorder predominantly characterized by developmental delay, craniofacial anomalies, and growth retardation. The bone phenotype of SAS has been less explored until recently and includes a variety of skeletal deformities, increased risk of low bone mineral density (BMD) with a propensity to fractures, and other biochemical abnormalities that suggest elevated bone turnover. We present the results of ongoing surveillance of bone health from 32 individuals (47% females, 3-18 years) with molecularly-confirmed SAS evaluated at a multidisciplinary clinic. Five individuals (5/32, 16%) were documented to have BMD Z-scores by DXA scans of -2.0 SD or lower and 7 more (7/32, 22%) had Z-scores between -1 and - 2 SD at the lumbar spine or the total hip. Alkaline phosphatase levels were found to be elevated in 19 individuals (19/30, 63%) and determined to correspond to bone-specific alkaline phosphatase elevations when measured (11/11, 100%). C-telopeptide levels were found to be elevated when adjusted by age and gender in 6 individuals (6/14, 43%). Additionally, the two individuals who underwent bone cross-sectional geometry evaluation by peripheral quantitative computed tomography were documented to have low cortical bone density for age and sex despite concurrent DXA scans that did not have this level of decreased density. While we could not identify particular biochemical abnormalities that predicted low BMD, the frequent elevations in markers of bone formation and resorption further confirmed the increased bone turnover in SAS. Based on our results and other recently published studies, we propose surveillance guidelines for the skeletal phenotype of SAS.

Abstract
Background TransCon CNP (navepegritide) is an investigational prodrug of C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) designed to allow for continuous CNP exposure with once-weekly dosing. This 52-week phase 2 (ACcomplisH) trial assessed the safety and efficacy of TransCon CNP in children with achondroplasia. Methods ACcomplisH is a global, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation trial. Study participants were recruited between June 10, 2020, and September 24, 2021. Eligible participants were prepubertal, aged 2-10 years, with genetically confirmed achondroplasia, and randomised 3:1 to once-weekly subcutaneous injections of TransCon CNP (6, 20, 50, or 100 μg CNP/kg/week) or placebo for 52 weeks. Primary objectives were safety and annualised growth velocity (AGV). ACcomplisH is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04085523) and Eudra (CT 2019-002754-22). Findings Forty-two participants received TransCon CNP at doses of 6 μg (n = 10; 7 female), 20 μg (n = 11; 3 female), 50 μg (n = 10; 3 female), or 100 μg (n = 11; 6 female) CNP/kg/week, with 15 receiving placebo (5 female). Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were mild or moderate with no grade 3/4 events reported. There were 2 serious TEAEs that were assessed as not related to TransCon CNP. Eleven injection site reactions occurred in 8 participants receiving TransCon CNP and no symptomatic hypotension occurred. TransCon CNP demonstrated a dose-dependent improvement in AGV. At 52 weeks, TransCon CNP 100 μg CNP/kg/week significantly improved AGV vs placebo (least squares mean [95% CI] 5.42 [4.74-6.11] vs 4.35 [3.75-4.94] cm/year; p = 0.0218), and improved achondroplasia-specific height SDS from baseline (least squares mean [95% CI] 0.22 [0.02-0·41] vs -0·08 [-0.25 to 0.10]; p = 0.0283). All participants completed the randomised period and continued in the ongoing open-label extension period receiving TransCon CNP 100 μg CNP/kg/week. Interpretation This phase 2 trial suggests that TransCon CNP is effective, safe, with low injection site reaction frequency, and may provide a novel, once-weekly treatment option for children with achondroplasia. These results support TransCon CNP at 100 μg CNP/kg/week in the ongoing pivotal trial. Funding Ascendis Pharma, A/S.

Abstract
The Integrator complex is a multi-subunit protein complex that regulates the processing of nascent RNAs transcribed by RNA polymerase II (RNAPII), including small nuclear RNAs, enhancer RNAs, telomeric RNAs, viral RNAs, and protein-coding mRNAs. Integrator subunit 11 (INTS11) is the catalytic subunit that cleaves nascent RNAs, but, to date, mutations in this subunit have not been linked to human disease. Here, we describe 15 individuals from 10 unrelated families with bi-allelic variants in INTS11 who present with global developmental and language delay, intellectual disability, impaired motor development, and brain atrophy. Consistent with human observations, we find that the fly ortholog of INTS11, dIntS11, is essential and expressed in the central nervous systems in a subset of neurons and most glia in larval and adult stages. Using Drosophila as a model, we investigated the effect of seven variants. We found that two (p.Arg17Leu and p.His414Tyr) fail to rescue the lethality of null mutants, indicating that they are strong loss-of-function variants. Furthermore, we found that five variants (p.Gly55Ser, p.Leu138Phe, p.Lys396Glu, p.Val517Met, and p.Ile553Glu) rescue lethality but cause a shortened lifespan and bang sensitivity and affect locomotor activity, indicating that they are partial loss-of-function variants. Altogether, our results provide compelling evidence that integrity of the Integrator RNA endonuclease is critical for brain development.

Abstract
The corpus callosum is a bundle of axon fibres that connects the two hemispheres of the brain. Neurodevelopmental disorders that feature dysgenesis of the corpus callosum as a core phenotype offer a valuable window into pathology derived from abnormal axon development. Here, we describe a cohort of eight patients with a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by a range of deficits including corpus callosum abnormalities, developmental delay, intellectual disability, epilepsy and autistic features. Each patient harboured a distinct de novo variant in MYCBP2, a gene encoding an atypical really interesting new gene (RING) ubiquitin ligase and signalling hub with evolutionarily conserved functions in axon development. We used CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing to introduce disease-associated variants into conserved residues in the Caenorhabditis elegans MYCBP2 orthologue, RPM-1, and evaluated functional outcomes in vivo. Consistent with variable phenotypes in patients with MYCBP2 variants, C. elegans carrying the corresponding human mutations in rpm-1 displayed axonal and behavioural abnormalities including altered habituation. Furthermore, abnormal axonal accumulation of the autophagy marker LGG-1/LC3 occurred in variants that affect RPM-1 ubiquitin ligase activity. Functional genetic outcomes from anatomical, cell biological and behavioural readouts indicate that MYCBP2 variants are likely to result in loss of function. Collectively, our results from multiple human patients and CRISPR gene editing with an in vivo animal model support a direct link between MYCBP2 and a human neurodevelopmental spectrum disorder that we term, MYCBP2-related developmental delay with corpus callosum defects (MDCD).

Abstract
Neddylation has been implicated in various cellular pathways and in the pathophysiology of numerous diseases. We identified four individuals with bi-allelic variants in NAE1, which encodes the neddylation E1 enzyme. Pathogenicity was supported by decreased NAE1 abundance and overlapping clinical and cellular phenotypes. To delineate how cellular consequences of NAE1 deficiency would lead to the clinical phenotype, we focused primarily on the rarest phenotypic features, based on the assumption that these would best reflect the pathophysiology at stake. Two of the rarest features, neuronal loss and lymphopenia worsening during infections, suggest that NAE1 is required during cellular stress caused by infections to protect against cell death. In support, we found that stressing the proteasome system with MG132-requiring upregulation of neddylation to restore proteasomal function and proteasomal stress-led to increased cell death in fibroblasts of individuals with NAE1 genetic variants. Additionally, we found decreased lymphocyte counts after CD3/CD28 stimulation and decreased NF-κB translocation in individuals with NAE1 variants. The rarest phenotypic feature-delayed closure of the ischiopubic rami-correlated with significant downregulation of RUN2X and SOX9 expression in transcriptomic data of fibroblasts. Both genes are involved in the pathophysiology of ischiopubic hypoplasia. Thus, we show that NAE1 plays a major role in (skeletal) development and cellular homeostasis during stress. Our approach suggests that a focus on rare phenotypic features is able to provide significant pathophysiological insights in diseases caused by mutations in genes with pleiotropic effects.

Abstract
SATB2-associated syndrome (SAS) is an autosomal dominant multisystemic disorder caused by alterations in the SATB2 gene. In addition to a predominant neurodevelopmental phenotype, individuals with SAS often present with feeding difficulties and growth retardation that persist past infancy. In this study, we present growth and measurement data from 211 individuals (53.6% male, 46.4% female) with SAS due to different molecular mechanisms. To delineate growth in this population, we constructed SAS-specific growth charts by sex from birth to 10 years of age. Smoothed SAS percentiles were superimposed with normative percentiles from WHO (birth to <24 months) and CDC (24 months to 10 years) growth charts. Individuals with SAS tend to display slower postnatal growth with 22.2% (32/144), 19.0% (26/137), and 21.6% having at least one weight, height, or weight-for-length /body mass index (BMI) measurement below -2 standard deviations, respectively. The SAS 50th centile BMI was consistently below the normative data 50th centile and negative mean Z-scores were seen across almost all age groups analyzed for both genders. Individuals with chromosomal abnormalities displayed significantly lower weight for age Z-score, height for age Z-scores, occipitofrontal head circumference for age Z-scores, and BMI for age Z-scores compared to either missense or null variants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High-impact pathogenic variants in more than a thousand genes are involved in Mendelian forms of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD). METHODS This study describes the molecular and clinical characterisation of 28 probands with NDD harbouring heterozygous AGO1 coding variants, occurring de novo for all those whose transmission could have been verified (26/28). RESULTS A total of 15 unique variants leading to amino acid changes or deletions were identified: 12 missense variants, two in-frame deletions of one codon, and one canonical splice variant leading to a deletion of two amino acid residues. Recurrently identified variants were present in several unrelated individuals: p.(Phe180del), p.(Leu190Pro), p.(Leu190Arg), p.(Gly199Ser), p.(Val254Ile) and p.(Glu376del). AGO1 encodes the Argonaute 1 protein, which functions in gene-silencing pathways mediated by small non-coding RNAs. Three-dimensional protein structure predictions suggest that these variants might alter the flexibility of the AGO1 linker domains, which likely would impair its function in mRNA processing. Affected individuals present with intellectual disability of varying severity, as well as speech and motor delay, autistic behaviour and additional behavioural manifestations. CONCLUSION Our study establishes that de novo coding variants in AGO1 are involved in a novel monogenic form of NDD, highly similar to the recently reported AGO2-related NDD.

Abstract
Even in the absence of significant valvular disease, patients with Marfan syndrome (MFS) have evidence of impaired left ventricular (LV) performance, suggestive of a primary cardiomyopathy. However, the true prevalence and long-term outcomes of this disease process remain largely unknown. We performed a retrospective analysis of all adult patients with confirmed MFS followed at Stanford Health Care. Those with significant valvular regurgitation, coronary artery disease, or previous cardiac surgery were excluded. LV systolic dysfunction was defined as a LV ejection fraction (LVEF) <55% on transthoracic echocardiography. A total of 753 patients with confirmed MFS were followed up over a median duration of 8 years (interquartile range 4 to 13). Of those, 241 patients (53% women, 71% White) met inclusion criteria and comprised the study cohort. LV systolic dysfunction was present in 30 patients (12%), with a median age of onset of 25 years (interquartile range 19 to 37), median EF of 52% (interquartile range 48 to 54), and evidence of clinical heart failure (New York Heart Association functional class ≥II) in 10% of patients. LV systolic dysfunction was more common in patients with larger aortic root diameters (≥4.0 cm: Odds ratio = 4.5, 95% confidence interval = 1.2 to 17.1) but was not associated with other cardiovascular manifestations of MFS or traditional atherosclerotic risk factors. In conclusion, apart from significant valvular pathology, LV systolic dysfunction was prevalent in MFS from a young age, suggestive of a primary cardiomyopathy. LV dysfunction was typically mild and subclinical and occurred more commonly in patients with more pronounced aortopathies.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to develop objective diagnostic criteria for early onset Marfan syndrome (eoMFS) to facilitate early diagnosis and timely interventions. METHODS On the basis of an extensive literature review and the responses from a survey distributed among providers with expertise in the diagnosis and management of eoMFS, we developed an age-based, diagnostic scoring system encompassing 10 features common to eoMFS (9 clinical + 1 laboratory) and divided them into cardiac, systemic, and FBN1 (on the basis of the location of the pathogenic FBN1 variant) scores. RESULTS In total, 77 individuals with eoMFS (13 newly reported) and 49 individuals diagnosed with classical Marfan syndrome during early childhood were used to validate the criteria. Median cardiac (8 vs 0, P < .001), systemic (11 vs 3, P < .001), FBN1 (5 vs 0, P < .001), and total (23 vs 4, P < .001) scores were significantly higher in individuals with eoMFS than in those without. A proposed clinical score (cardiac + systemic) cutoff of ≥14 points showed excellent sensitivity (100%), specificity (92%), and reliability (correctly classified = 94%). CONCLUSION Distinct from classical Marfan syndrome in phenotype and morbidity, eoMFS can be diagnosed clinically using an objective scoring system encompassing the typical physical features and cardiac disease manifestations. Although genetic testing can be suggestive of eoMFS, genetic testing alone is insufficient for diagnosis.

Abstract
Primary ciliopathies are heterogenous disorders resulting from perturbations in primary cilia form and/or function. Primary cilia are cellular organelles which mediate key signaling pathways during development, such as the sonic hedgehog (SHH) pathway which is required for neuroepithelium and central nervous system development. Joubert syndrome is a primary ciliopathy characterized by cerebellar/brain stem malformation, hypotonia, and developmental delays. At least 35 genes are associated with Joubert syndrome, including the gene KIAA0753, which is part of a complex required for primary ciliogenesis. The phenotypic spectrum associated with biallelic pathogenic variants in KIAA0753 is broad and not well-characterized. We describe four individuals with biallelic pathogenic KIAA0753 variants, including five novel variants. We report in vitro results assessing the function of each variant indicating that mutant proteins are not fully competent to promote primary ciliogenesis. Ablation of KIAA0753 in vitro blocks primary ciliogenesis and SHH pathway activity. Correspondingly, KIAA0753 patient fibroblasts have a deficit in primary ciliation and improper SHH and WNT signaling, with a particularly blunted response to SHH pathway stimulation. Our work expands the phenotypic spectrum of KIAA0753 ciliopathies and demonstrates the utility of patient-focused functional assays for proving causality of genetic variants.

Abstract
Costello syndrome (CS) is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by pathogenic variants in HRAS. Craniosynostosis is a known feature of other RASopathies (Noonan and cardiofaciocutaneous syndromes) but not CS. We describe four individuals with CS and craniosynostosis and present a summary of all previously reported individuals with craniosynostosis and RASopathy.

Abstract
SATB2-associated syndrome (SAS) is an autosomal dominant neurogenetic multisystemic disorder. We describe two individuals with global developmental delay and hypotonia who underwent an extensive evaluation to rule out an underlying mitochondrial disorder before their eventual diagnosis of SAS. Although the strict application of the clinical mitochondrial disease score only led to the designation of "possible" mitochondrial disorder for these two individuals, other documented abnormalities included nonspecific neuroimaging findings on magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance spectroscopy, decreased complex I activity on muscle biopsy for patient 2, and variation in the size and relative proportion of types of muscle fibers in the muscle biopsies that were aligned with mitochondrial diseases. SAS should be in the differential diagnoses of mitochondrial disorders, and broad-spectrum diagnostic tests such as exome sequencing need to be considered early in the evaluation process of undiagnosed neurodevelopmental disorders.

Abstract
SATB2-associated syndrome (SAS) is a multisystemic disorder characterized by developmental delay often with concurrent autistic tendencies. This study aimed to characterize cellular metabolic pathways and energy metabolism from cells derived from individuals with SAS. The cellular production of NADH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, reduced form) as determined by the Phenotype Mammalian MicroArrays was measured in lymphoblastoid cell lines derived from 11 subjects with a molecularly confirmed diagnosis of SAS and compared to a control population of 50 age-matched typically developing individuals. All patients were evaluated clinically by a multidisciplinary team. Eleven individuals (five in a screening cohort and six in the validation cohort, mean age 6.1 years) were recruited to the study. All individuals had developmental delay and the diagnosis of autism was previously established in five of them. Key metabolic findings included reduced NADH production in the presence of phosphorylated carbohydrates (with corresponding increased production in the presence of alternative carbon-based energy sources), increased response to certain hormones (β-estradiol in particular), and significantly reduced levels of NADH in wells containing tryptophan. The individual analysis revealed no particular differences among the SAS subjects based on molecular findings or phenotypic features. In conclusion, individuals with SAS have a common and recognizable metabolic profile. A lower capacity to utilize glucose as an energy substrate could be contributing to the neurodevelopment phenotype of SAS. The identified abnormalities offer previously unexplored insight into the potential pathophysiology of common SAS phenotypic features.

Abstract
PURPOSE To expand the recent description of a new neurodevelopmental syndrome related to alterations in CDK19. METHODS Individuals were identified through international collaboration. Functional studies included autophosphorylation assays for CDK19 Gly28Arg and Tyr32His variants and in vivo zebrafish assays of the CDK19G28R and CDK19Y32H. RESULTS We describe 11 unrelated individuals (age range: 9 months to 14 years) with de novo missense variants mapped to the kinase domain of CDK19, including two recurrent changes at residues Tyr32 and Gly28. In vitro autophosphorylation and substrate phosphorylation assays revealed that kinase activity of protein was lower for p.Gly28Arg and higher for p.Tyr32His substitutions compared with that of the wild-type protein. Injection of CDK19 messenger RNA (mRNA) with either the Tyr32His or the Gly28Arg variants using in vivo zebrafish model significantly increased fraction of embryos with morphological abnormalities. Overall, the phenotype of the now 14 individuals with CDK19-related disorder includes universal developmental delay and facial dysmorphism, hypotonia (79%), seizures (64%), ophthalmologic anomalies (64%), and autism/autistic traits (56%). CONCLUSION CDK19 de novo missense variants are responsible for a novel neurodevelopmental disorder. Both kinase assay and zebrafish experiments showed that the pathogenetic mechanism may be more diverse than previously thought.

Abstract
The goal of this study was to investigate the medical, communication, activities of daily living (ADLs), and mental health concerns affecting adolescents and adults with SATB2-associated syndrome (SAS). A comprehensive questionnaire was administered to the caregivers of 49 individuals 12 years or older with SAS (mean age was 19.4 years, range 12-37 years). For all individuals, medical records, including laboratory results, were reviewed. Most individuals required some degree of assistance for ADLs and none of the adults were able to live independently. Health status was qualified as excellent or very good in 61% of individuals. The most common medical problems were dental anomalies, with a significantly higher frequency of hypotonia and gastroesophageal reflux in younger individuals. Medical and surgical interventions were often required. Sixty-nine percent (n = 33) of individuals spoke 10 or fewer words. Autism (41%), anxiety (37%), and attention deficit disorder (37%) were common with one third of individuals receiving medical treatments for these diagnoses. While medical and developmental problems in individuals with SAS were similar to those previously reported, many of these are persistent into adolescence and adulthood. This study provides better guidance for the challenges facing adults with SAS and their families.

Abstract
The ALF transcription factor paralogs, AFF1, AFF2, AFF3, and AFF4, are components of the transcriptional super elongation complex that regulates expression of genes involved in neurogenesis and development. We describe an autosomal dominant disorder associated with de novo missense variants in the degron of AFF3, a nine amino acid sequence important for its binding to ubiquitin ligase, or with de novo deletions of this region. The sixteen affected individuals we identified, along with two previously reported individuals, present with a recognizable pattern of anomalies, which we named KINSSHIP syndrome (KI for horseshoe kidney, NS for Nievergelt/Savarirayan type of mesomelic dysplasia, S for seizures, H for hypertrichosis, I for intellectual disability, and P for pulmonary involvement), partially overlapping the AFF4-associated CHOPS syndrome. Whereas homozygous Aff3 knockout mice display skeletal anomalies, kidney defects, brain malformations, and neurological anomalies, knockin animals modeling one of the microdeletions and the most common of the missense variants identified in affected individuals presented with lower mesomelic limb deformities like KINSSHIP-affected individuals and early lethality, respectively. Overexpression of AFF3 in zebrafish resulted in body axis anomalies, providing some support for the pathological effect of increased amount of AFF3. The only partial phenotypic overlap of AFF3- and AFF4-associated syndromes and the previously published transcriptome analyses of ALF transcription factors suggest that these factors are not redundant and each contributes uniquely to proper development.

Abstract
SATB2-Associated syndrome (SAS) is an autosomal dominant, multisystemic, neurodevelopmental disorder due to alterations in SATB2 at 2q33.1. A limited number of individuals with 2q33.1 contiguous deletions encompassing SATB2 (ΔSAS) have been described in the literature. We describe 17 additional individuals with ΔSAS, review the phenotype of 33 previously published individuals with 2q33.1 deletions (n = 50, mean age = 8.5 ± 7.8 years), and provide a comprehensive comparison to individuals with other molecular mechanisms that result in SAS (non-ΔSAS). Individuals in the ΔSAS group were often underweight for age (20/41 = 49%) with a progressive decline in weight (95% CI = -2.3 to -1.1, p < 0.0001) and height (95% CI = -2.3 to -1.0, p < 0.0001) Z-score means from birth to last available measurement. ΔSAS individuals were often noted to have a broad spectrum of facial dysmorphism. A composite image of ΔSAS individuals generated by automated image analysis was distinct as compared to matched controls and non-ΔSAS individuals. We also present additional genotype-phenotype correlations for individuals in the ΔSAS group such as an increased risk for aortic root/ascending aorta dilation and primary pulmonary hypertension for those individuals with contiguous gene deletions that include COL3A1/COL5A2 and BMPR2, respectively. Based on these findings, we provide additional care recommendations for individuals with ΔSAS variants.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aims to provide a comprehensive description of the phenotypic and genotypic spectrum of SNAP25 developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (SNAP25-DEE) by reviewing newly identified and previously reported individuals. METHODS Individuals harboring heterozygous missense or loss-of-function variants in SNAP25 were assembled through collaboration with international colleagues, matchmaking platforms, and literature review. For each individual, detailed phenotyping, classification, and structural modeling of the identified variant were performed. RESULTS The cohort comprises 23 individuals with pathogenic or likely pathogenic de novo variants in SNAP25. Intellectual disability and early-onset epilepsy were identified as the core symptoms of SNAP25-DEE, with recurrent findings of movement disorders, cerebral visual impairment, and brain atrophy. Structural modeling for all variants predicted possible functional defects concerning SNAP25 or impaired interaction with other components of the SNARE complex. CONCLUSION We provide a comprehensive description of SNAP25-DEE with intellectual disability and early-onset epilepsy mostly occurring before the age of two years. These core symptoms and additional recurrent phenotypes show an overlap to genes encoding other components or associated proteins of the SNARE complex such as STX1B, STXBP1, or VAMP2. Thus, these findings advance the concept of a group of neurodevelopmental disorders that may be termed "SNAREopathies."

Abstract
PURPOSE Pathogenic variants in the X-linked gene NEXMIF (previously KIAA2022) are associated with intellectual disability (ID), autism spectrum disorder, and epilepsy. We aimed to delineate the female and male phenotypic spectrum of NEXMIF encephalopathy. METHODS Through an international collaboration, we analyzed the phenotypes and genotypes of 87 patients with NEXMIF encephalopathy. RESULTS Sixty-three females and 24 males (46 new patients) with NEXMIF encephalopathy were studied, with 30 novel variants. Phenotypic features included developmental delay/ID in 86/87 (99%), seizures in 71/86 (83%) and multiple comorbidities. Generalized seizures predominated including myoclonic seizures and absence seizures (both 46/70, 66%), absence with eyelid myoclonia (17/70, 24%), and atonic seizures (30/70, 43%). Males had more severe developmental impairment; females had epilepsy more frequently, and varied from unaffected to severely affected. All NEXMIF pathogenic variants led to a premature stop codon or were deleterious structural variants. Most arose de novo, although X-linked segregation occurred for both sexes. Somatic mosaicism occurred in two males and a family with suspected parental mosaicism. CONCLUSION NEXMIF encephalopathy is an X-linked, generalized developmental and epileptic encephalopathy characterized by myoclonic-atonic epilepsy overlapping with eyelid myoclonia with absence. Some patients have developmental encephalopathy without epilepsy. Males have more severe developmental impairment. NEXMIF encephalopathy arises due to loss-of-function variants.

Abstract
MN1 encodes a transcriptional co-regulator without homology to other proteins, previously implicated in acute myeloid leukaemia and development of the palate. Large deletions encompassing MN1 have been reported in individuals with variable neurodevelopmental anomalies and non-specific facial features. We identified a cluster of de novo truncating mutations in MN1 in a cohort of 23 individuals with strikingly similar dysmorphic facial features, especially midface hypoplasia, and intellectual disability with severe expressive language delay. Imaging revealed an atypical form of rhombencephalosynapsis, a distinctive brain malformation characterized by partial or complete loss of the cerebellar vermis with fusion of the cerebellar hemispheres, in 8/10 individuals. Rhombencephalosynapsis has no previously known definitive genetic or environmental causes. Other frequent features included perisylvian polymicrogyria, abnormal posterior clinoid processes and persistent trigeminal artery. MN1 is encoded by only two exons. All mutations, including the recurrent variant p.Arg1295* observed in 8/21 probands, fall in the terminal exon or the extreme 3' region of exon 1, and are therefore predicted to result in escape from nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. This was confirmed in fibroblasts from three individuals. We propose that the condition described here, MN1 C-terminal truncation (MCTT) syndrome, is not due to MN1 haploinsufficiency but rather is the result of dominantly acting C-terminally truncated MN1 protein. Our data show that MN1 plays a critical role in human craniofacial and brain development, and opens the door to understanding the biological mechanisms underlying rhombencephalosynapsis.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare the size and geometry of the aorta in patients with 7q11.23 duplication (Dup7) to healthy controls. We retrospectively reviewed all echocardiograms in all patients with Dup7 evaluated at our institutions from June 2017 through September 2019. All standard aortic diameter measurements were made and recorded. Z-scores for the measurements were calculated. For comparison, a set of control echocardiograms was developed by randomly selecting 24 normal echocardiograms in age-matched patients who had undergone echocardiograms for an indication of either chest pain or syncope. In 58 echocardiograms from 21 Dup7 patients, all aortic measurements were increased compared to controls (p < 0.0001). Effacement of the sinotubular junction (STJ) of the aorta was present in all Dup7 patients. Our novel STJ-to-aortic annulus ratio of ≥ 1.15 had a 98.28% sensitivity (95% CI 90.76-99.96) and 100% specificity (95% CI 85.75-100) for distinguishing Dup7 from controls with a positive predictive value of 100% and a negative predictive value of 96.00% (95% CI 77.47-99.41). All patients in our study with Dup7 had echocardiographic evidence of aortopathy. Effacement of the STJ was present in all Dup7 patients. The STJ-to-annulus ratio is a better indicator of aortopathy in Dup7 than the aortic Z-score.

Abstract
AIM To determine the nature and frequency of behavioral phenotypes and sleep disturbances in individuals with SATB2-associated syndrome (SAS). METHOD The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) and an age-appropriate sleep questionnaire were distributed to the parents of individuals with SAS. All scores were compared to available normative data. RESULTS Thirty-one individuals completed the assessment (18 females, 13 males; mean age 7y 4mo [SD 4y 1mo], range 2-16y). Individuals with SAS had significantly higher Total Difficulty scores than the normative sample (14.9 [SD 5.8] vs 7.1 [SD 5.7], p<0.001). A high frequency of emotional problems (22.6% vs 8%, p=0.01), peer problems (48.4% vs 10%, p<0.001), hyperactivity (48.4% vs 9%, p<0.001), and low prosocial behaviors (45.2% vs 9%, p<0.001) contribute to the behavioral profile in SAS. Concurrent sleeping difficulties were also frequently identified. Ten individuals in the 5 to 15 years age range had at least one sleep disorder (mean Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children total score 40.9 [SD 8.4] vs 35.1 [SD 7.7], p<0.001). INTERPRETATION With previous limited available objective neurobehavioral data on the SAS population, we reported evidence of high-risk for a broad spectrum of burdensome behavioral phenotype and concurrent sleeping difficulties, the latter being particularly prevalent during early childhood. Routine assessment and treatment for behavioral issues and sleep problems is recommended. WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS Emotional and peer problems, hyperactivity, and low prosocial behavior are common in SATB2-associated syndrome. The Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire Total Difficulty scores are atypical in nearly half of individuals. Behavioral difficulties are perceived as burdensome to over half of the parents. Nearly half of individuals have at least one sleep disorder. Sleep-wake transition disorders were most common.

Abstract
More than 50 individuals with activating variants in the receptor tyrosine kinase PDGFRB have been reported, separated based on clinical features into solitary myofibromas, infantile myofibromatosis, Penttinen syndrome with premature aging and osteopenia, Kosaki overgrowth syndrome, and fusiform aneurysms. Despite their descriptions as distinct clinical entities, review of previous reports demonstrates substantial phenotypic overlap. We present a case series of 12 patients with activating variants in PDGFRB and review of the literature. We describe five patients with PDGFRB activating variants whose clinical features overlap multiple diagnostic entities. Seven additional patients from a large family had variable expressivity and late-onset disease, including adult onset features and two individuals with sudden death. Three patients were treated with imatinib and had robust and rapid response, including the first two reported infants with multicentric myofibromas treated with imatinib monotherapy and one with a recurrent p.Val665Ala (Penttinen) variant. Along with previously reported individuals, our cohort suggests infants and young children had few abnormal features, while older individuals had multiple additional features, several of which appeared to worsen with advancing age. Our analysis supports a diagnostic entity of a spectrum disorders due to activating variants in PDGFRB. Differences in reported phenotypes can be dramatic and correlate with advancing age, genotype, and to mosaicism in some individuals.

Abstract
PURPOSE Genitopatellar syndrome and Say-Barber-Biesecker-Young-Simpson syndrome are caused by variants in the KAT6B gene and are part of a broad clinical spectrum called KAT6B disorders, whose variable expressivity is increasingly being recognized. METHODS We herein present the phenotypes of 32 previously unreported individuals with a molecularly confirmed diagnosis of a KAT6B disorder, report 24 new pathogenic KAT6B variants, and review phenotypic information available on all published individuals with this condition. We also suggest a classification of clinical subtypes within the KAT6B disorder spectrum. RESULTS We demonstrate that cerebral anomalies, optic nerve hypoplasia, neurobehavioral difficulties, and distal limb anomalies other than long thumbs and great toes, such as polydactyly, are more frequently observed than initially reported. Intestinal malrotation and its serious consequences can be present in affected individuals. Additionally, we identified four children with Pierre Robin sequence, four individuals who had increased nuchal translucency/cystic hygroma prenatally, and two fetuses with severe renal anomalies leading to renal failure. We also report an individual in which a pathogenic variant was inherited from a mildly affected parent. CONCLUSION Our work provides a comprehensive review and expansion of the genotypic and phenotypic spectrum of KAT6B disorders that will assist clinicians in the assessment, counseling, and management of affected individuals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND DGAT1, a gene encoding a protein involved in lipid metabolism, has been recently implicated in causing a rare nutritional and digestive disease presenting as Congenital Diarrheal Disorder (CDD). Genetic causes of malnutrition can be classified as metabolic disorders, caused by loss of a specific enzyme's function. However, disease driven by genetic variants in lipid metabolism genes is not well understood, and additional information is needed to better understand these effects. METHODS We gathered a multi-institutional cohort of undiagnosed patients with a constellation of phenotypes presenting as malnutrition and metal ion dysregulation. Clinical Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) was performed on four patients and their unaffected parents. We prioritized genetic variants based on multiple criteria including population allele frequency and presumed inheritance pattern, and identified a candidate gene. Computational modeling was used to investigate if the altered amino acids are likely to result in a dysfunctional enzyme. RESULTS We identified a multi-institutional cohort of patients presenting with malnutrition-like symptoms and likely pathogenic genomic variants within DGAT1. Multiple approaches were used to profile the effect these variants have on protein structure and function. Laboratory and nutritional intervention studies showed rapid and robust patient responses. CONCLUSIONS This report adds on to the database for existing mutations known within DGAT1, a gene recently implicated with CDD, and also expands its clinical spectrum. Identification of these DGAT1 mutations by WES has allowed for changes in the patients' nutritional rehabilitation, reversed growth failure and enabled them to be weaned off of total parenteral nutrition (TPN).

Abstract
Special AT-rich sequence binding protein 2 (Satb2) is a matrix attachment region (MAR) binding protein. Satb2 impacts skeletal development by regulating gene transcription required for osteogenic differentiation. Although its role as a high-order transcription factor is well supported, other roles for Satb2 in skeletal development remain unclear. In particular, the impact of dosage sensitivity (heterozygous mutations) and variance on phenotypic severity is still not well understood. To further investigate molecular and cellular mechanisms of Satb2-mediated skeletal defects, we used the CRISPR/Cas9 system to generate Satb2 mutations in MC3T3-E1 cells. Our data suggest that, in addition to its role in differentiation, Satb2 regulates progenitor proliferation. We also find that mutations in Satb2 cause chromatin defects including nuclear blebbing and donut-shaped nuclei. These defects may contribute to a slight increase in apoptosis in mutant cells, but apoptosis is insufficient to explain the proliferation defects. Satb2 expression exhibits population-level variation and is most highly expressed from late G1 to late G2. Based on these data, we hypothesize that Satb2 may regulate proliferation through two separate mechanisms. First, Satb2 may regulate the expression of genes necessary for cell cycle progression in pre-osteoblasts. Second, similar to other MAR-binding proteins, Satb2 may participate in DNA replication. We also hypothesize that variation in the severity or penetrance of Satb2-mediated proliferation defects is due to stochastic variation in Satb2 binding to DNA, which may be buffered in some genetic backgrounds. Further elucidation of the role of Satb2 in proliferation has potential impacts on our understanding of both skeletal defects and cancer.

Abstract
Cerebellar malformations are diverse congenital anomalies frequently associated with developmental disability. Although genetic and prenatal non-genetic causes have been described, no systematic analysis has been performed. Here, we present a large-exome sequencing study of Dandy-Walker malformation (DWM) and cerebellar hypoplasia (CBLH). We performed exome sequencing in 282 individuals from 100 families with DWM or CBLH, and we established a molecular diagnosis in 36 of 100 families, with a significantly higher yield for CBLH (51%) than for DWM (16%). The 41 variants impact 27 neurodevelopmental-disorder-associated genes, thus demonstrating that CBLH and DWM are often features of monogenic neurodevelopmental disorders. Though only seven monogenic causes (19%) were identified in more than one individual, neuroimaging review of 131 additional individuals confirmed cerebellar abnormalities in 23 of 27 genetic disorders (85%). Prenatal risk factors were frequently found among individuals without a genetic diagnosis (30 of 64 individuals [47%]). Single-cell RNA sequencing of prenatal human cerebellar tissue revealed gene enrichment in neuronal and vascular cell types; this suggests that defective vasculogenesis may disrupt cerebellar development. Further, de novo gain-of-function variants in PDGFRB, a tyrosine kinase receptor essential for vascular progenitor signaling, were associated with CBLH, and this discovery links genetic and non-genetic etiologies. Our results suggest that genetic defects impact specific cerebellar cell types and implicate abnormal vascular development as a mechanism for cerebellar malformations. We also confirmed a major contribution for non-genetic prenatal factors in individuals with cerebellar abnormalities, substantially influencing diagnostic evaluation and counseling regarding recurrence risk and prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With their unique history of exposure to extensive nuclear testing between 1946 and 1958, descendants of Marshall Island residents may have underappreciated genetic abnormalities, increasing their risk of birth defects. METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study of resident women with at least one singleton live birth between 1997 and 2013 in northwest Arkansas using state birth certificate data linked to data from the Arkansas Reproductive Health Monitoring System, a statewide birth defects registry. We calculated unadjusted and adjusted prevalence ratios (PR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) from modified Poisson regression analyses for non-Hispanic (NH) whites, NH-blacks, Hispanics and Marshallese, using NH-whites as the reference group. RESULTS Of the 91,662 singleton births during the study period, 2,488 were to Marshallese women. Due to the relatively small number of Marshallese births, we could not calculate prevalence estimates for some defects. Marshallese infants had higher rates of congenital cataracts (PR = 9.3; 95% CI: 3.1, 27.9). Although the number of defects was low, Marshallese infants also had higher rates of truncus arteriosus (PR = 44.0; 95% CI: 2.2, 896.1). CONCLUSIONS Marshallese infants may have increased risk of specific birth defects, but estimates are unstable because of small sample size so results are inconclusive. Larger population-based studies would allow for further investigation of this potential risk among Marshallese infants.

Abstract
SATB2-associated syndrome (SAS) is an autosomal dominant neurodevelopmental disorder caused by alterations in the SATB2 gene. Here we present a review of published pathogenic variants in the SATB2 gene to date and report 38 novel alterations found in 57 additional previously unreported individuals. Overall, we present a compilation of 120 unique variants identified in 155 unrelated families ranging from single nucleotide coding variants to genomic rearrangements distributed throughout the entire coding region of SATB2. Single nucleotide variants predicted to result in the occurrence of a premature stop codon were the most commonly seen (51/120 = 42.5%) followed by missense variants (31/120 = 25.8%). We review the rather limited functional characterization of pathogenic variants and discuss current understanding of the consequences of the different molecular alterations. We present an expansive phenotypic review along with novel genotype-phenotype correlations. Lastly, we discuss current knowledge of animal models and present future prospects. This review should help provide better guidance for the care of individuals diagnosed with SAS.

Abstract
Background Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare, inherited, metabolic disease caused by tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase deficiency, characterized by bone mineralization defects and systemic complications. Understanding of the clinical course and burden of HPP is limited by its rarity. This systematic literature review and synthesis of case report data aimed to determine the frequency and timing of clinical HPP manifestations and events. Methods Case reports and series of patients with HPP who had been followed longitudinally for ≥1 year were identified. Demographics and clinical data of interest, identified through consultation with clinical experts in HPP, were extracted. Occurrences of clinical manifestations/events of interest were categorized, classified by age at first reported occurrence of HPP manifestations and visualized over time. Clinical manifestations/events considered to contribute to the clinical burden of HPP were identified. Kaplan–Meier curves were used to estimate the median (range) age at first occurrence of the most frequently reported manifestations/events. Results From the 283 studies that met the inclusion criteria, 265 patients with HPP with ≥1 year of longitudinal follow-up were identified (median [interquartile range] age 4 [0–34] years; 45% male). The types of clinical manifestations/events of interest experienced by individuals with ≥1 such manifestation/event (n = 261) often differed between older and younger patients. Most (94%) of the 265 patients experienced ≥1 manifestation/event deemed to contribute to the clinical burden of HPP; premature tooth loss (53.5%), fractures (35.8%), pain (33.6%), and gross motor/ambulation difficulties (30.9%) were most frequently reported. The median (range) age at first reported occurrence of respiratory symptoms, cranial abnormalities, and premature tooth loss ranged from 0.3 to 10 years, whereas the median age at first reported occurrence of fractures, pain, gross motor/ambulation difficulties, and surgery ranged from 33 to 70 years. Conclusions HPP is associated with a high clinical burden of disease, regardless of age at first reported occurrence of HPP manifestations. Over an individual’s lifetime, the types of manifestations/events experienced can change and multiple HPP-related clinical manifestations/events can accumulate. These observations may reflect evolution and progression of the disease.

Abstract
Acetylation of the lysine residues in histones and other DNA-binding proteins plays a major role in regulation of eukaryotic gene expression. This process is controlled by histone acetyltransferases (HATs/KATs) found in multiprotein complexes that are recruited to chromatin by the scaffolding subunit transformation/transcription domain-associated protein (TRRAP). TRRAP is evolutionarily conserved and is among the top five genes intolerant to missense variation. Through an international collaboration, 17 distinct de novo or apparently de novo variants were identified in TRRAP in 24 individuals. A strong genotype-phenotype correlation was observed with two distinct clinical spectra. The first is a complex, multi-systemic syndrome associated with various malformations of the brain, heart, kidneys, and genitourinary system and characterized by a wide range of intellectual functioning; a number of affected individuals have intellectual disability (ID) and markedly impaired basic life functions. Individuals with this phenotype had missense variants clustering around the c.3127G>A p.(Ala1043Thr) variant identified in five individuals. The second spectrum manifested with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and/or ID and epilepsy. Facial dysmorphism was seen in both groups and included upslanted palpebral fissures, epicanthus, telecanthus, a wide nasal bridge and ridge, a broad and smooth philtrum, and a thin upper lip. RNA sequencing analysis of skin fibroblasts derived from affected individuals skin fibroblasts showed significant changes in the expression of several genes implicated in neuronal function and ion transport. Thus, we describe here the clinical spectrum associated with TRRAP pathogenic missense variants, and we suggest a genotype-phenotype correlation useful for clinical evaluation of the pathogenicity of the variants.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Identify, diagnose, and document oral clinical and radiographic evidence associated with the genetic condition known as special AT-rich sequence-binding protein 2 (SATB2)-associated syndrome. Through identifying and publishing these common dental and behavioral findings, we hope to educate oral and medical healthcare providers to identify this condition in an attempt to develop meaningful comprehensive care to this patient population. METHODS A total of 37 patients (19 female), ranging from ages 2 to 20 were evaluated at Arkansas Children's Hospital in Little Rock, Arkansas. Patient geographic distribution included: the United States, Canada, Portugal, Spain, and the Netherlands. Patients were clinically and radiographically examined for oral findings. Panoramic radiographs were obtained when patient's behavior allowed. Patient's parents or guardians were also interviewed concerning dental, medical, and behavioral histories. RESULTS Clinical findings included delayed tooth eruption, bruxism, sialorrhea, larger than normal teeth with an increased propensity for maxillary anterior tooth trauma due to unsteady ambulation. Radiographic findings included delayed permanent root formation, significantly delayed or missing second bicuspids, malformed teeth, and taurodontism. Medical and behavioral issues included: insomnia, hyperphagia, cognitive delays, and an extremely high pain threshold. CONCLUSION Patients with SATB2-associated syndrome have shown to have a consistent and unique set of dental findings both clinically and radiographically. A thorough health and dental history along with the aforementioned results of the study may facilitate a diagnosis of this syndrome. Due to the complexity of the patient's dental needs and behavior, a health practitioner with special needs care experience on a comprehensive craniofacial team would be optimal.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Loeys-Dietz syndrome (LDS) is a congenital multisystem disorder affecting the cardiovascular and musculoskeletal system. Limited data have reported neurodevelopmental (ND) issues in LDS. AIMS To determine the extent of ND issues in patients with LDS. METHODS A prospective study was performed of LDS patients or their caregivers. The study included data collected via an online survey of age-specific questions. Standard statistical methods were used for baseline and demographic characteristics, as well as group comparisons. OUTCOMES Data were obtained from 67 patients with LDS (54% female). Median age was 14.9 years. Gene mutations included TGFBR1 (39%), TGFBR2 (40%), SMAD3 (7%), and unknown (14%). Motor delays (30%, 18/61) and hypotonia (63%, 37/60) occurred frequently. Physical (62%, 39/62), occupational (41%, 23/56), and speech therapies (34%, 20/58) were common. Feeding issues were common (41%, 23/56). TGFBR1 mutations were more frequent among those with motor delays and feeding issues. CONCLUSIONS Patients with LDS and/or their caregivers report at least one ND problem in most cases, and many require therapies. These data suggest ND disorders should be considered to be part of the phenotype.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To characterize the radiographic dental phenotype of individuals with SATB2-associated syndrome (SAS). MATERIALS AND METHODS Participants were evaluated by a multidisciplinary team during a concurrent clinic conducted during the 1st international SAS family meeting held in 2017 at a single institution. Whenever possible, panoramic and/or periapical radiographs were obtained in clinic or previously obtained and provided by the caregiver. RESULTS Of the 37 individuals evaluated, 18 (12 males, median age 8.5 years) underwent radiographic examination. Dental radiographs revealed anomalies in all individuals starting at 2 years of age. The most consistent finding was delayed development of the mandibular second bicuspids (83%) with other common radiographic findings including delayed development of the roots of the permanent teeth (78%), severely rotated (56%) or malformed teeth (44%), and taurodontism (44%). CONCLUSIONS Dental anomalies are fully penetrant and can be documented radiographically in all individuals with SAS. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Dental radiographic findings of delayed second premolar development and delayed development of permanent root formation, especially concurrent with findings of taurodontism and malformed teeth, support a clinical suspicion for SAS and should help differentiate SAS from other neurodevelopmental syndromes.

Abstract
This report describes the presentation of a newborn male with circumferential tongue-palate fusion associated with cleft palate and alveolar bands. After intraoral adhesions lysis, the patient was diagnosed with Pierre Robin sequence. A family history of cleft lip and palate was noted, and interferon regulatory factor 6 ( IRF6) sequencing revealed a heterozygous variant, confirming the diagnosis of van der Woude syndrome. The disruption of IRF6 resulted in abnormal orofacial development including micrognathia and intraoral adhesions as well as tongue-palate fusion, then resulting in glossoptosis with airway obstruction and cleft palate.

Abstract
Molecular anomalies in MED13L, leading to haploinsufficiency, have been reported in patients with moderate to severe intellectual disability (ID) and distinct facial features, with or without congenital heart defects. Phenotype of the patients was referred to "MED13L haploinsufficiency syndrome." Missense variants in MED13L were already previously described to cause the MED13L-related syndrome, but only in a limited number of patients. Here we report 36 patients with MED13L molecular anomaly, recruited through an international collaboration between centers of expertise for developmental anomalies. All patients presented with intellectual disability and severe language impairment. Hypotonia, ataxia, and recognizable facial gestalt were frequent findings, but not congenital heart defects. We identified seven de novo missense variations, in addition to protein-truncating variants and intragenic deletions. Missense variants clustered in two mutation hot-spots, i.e., exons 15-17 and 25-31. We found that patients carrying missense mutations had more frequently epilepsy and showed a more severe phenotype. This study ascertains missense variations in MED13L as a cause for MED13L-related intellectual disability and improves the clinical delineation of the condition.

Abstract
SATB2-associated syndrome (SAS) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by significant neurodevelopmental disabilities with limited to absent speech, behavioral issues, and craniofacial anomalies. Previous studies have largely been restricted to case reports and small series without in-depth phenotypic characterization or genotype-phenotype correlations. Seventy two study participants were identified as part of the SAS clinical registry. Individuals with a molecularly confirmed diagnosis of SAS were referred after clinical diagnostic testing. In this series we present the most comprehensive phenotypic and genotypic characterization of SAS to date, including prevalence of each clinical feature, neurodevelopmental milestones, and when available, patient management. We confirm that the most distinctive features are neurodevelopmental delay with invariably severely limited speech, abnormalities of the palate (cleft or high-arched), dental anomalies (crowding, macrodontia, abnormal shape), and behavioral issues with or without bone or brain anomalies. This comprehensive clinical characterization will help clinicians with the diagnosis, counseling and management of SAS and help provide families with anticipatory guidance.

Abstract
SATB2-associated syndrome (SAS) is a rare disorder caused by alterations in the special AT-rich sequence-binding protein 2 (SATB2). Skeletal abnormalities such as tibial bowing, osteomalacia, osteopenia or osteoporosis have been reported suggesting a higher frequency of skeletal complications in SAS. The optimal timing, necessity, and methodology for routine assessment of bone health in individuals with SAS, however, remain unclear. We report molecular and phenotypic features of 7 individuals with SAS documented to have low bone mineral density (BMD) ascertained by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), often preceded by tibial bowing. The lowest BMD Z-scores ranged -2.3 to -5.6. In 4 individuals, total alkaline phosphatase levels were elevated (2 with elevated bone fraction) around the time of low BMD documentation. A clinically significant fracture history and a diagnosis of pediatric osteoporosis were present in 4 individuals. Pamidronate treatment in 2 children improved BMD. In conclusion, low BMD, fractures, and tibial bowing are relatively common skeletal complications in individuals with SAS. DXA is a useful tool when evaluating a child with SAS suspected to have low BMD and the results might alter clinical management.

Abstract
Using whole-exome sequencing, we identified seven unrelated individuals with global developmental delay, hypotonia, dysmorphic facial features, and an increased frequency of short stature, ataxia, and autism with de novo heterozygous frameshift, nonsense, splice, and missense variants in the Early B-cell Transcription Factor Family Member 3 (EBF3) gene. EBF3 is a member of the collier/olfactory-1/early B-cell factor (COE) family of proteins, which are required for central nervous system (CNS) development. COE proteins are highly evolutionarily conserved and regulate neuronal specification, migration, axon guidance, and dendritogenesis during development and are essential for maintaining neuronal identity in adult neurons. Haploinsufficiency of EBF3 may affect brain development and function, resulting in developmental delay, intellectual disability, and behavioral differences observed in individuals with a deleterious variant in EBF3.
