  • Positions of the mutations refer to coding DNA reference sequence CCDS6107.2 and Uniprot protein sequence P11362-1.

  • *Homozygous mutations.

  • †Low level consanguinity could not be assessed, the parents being lost to follow-up.

  • ‡Patient 7 has severe microcephaly (head circumference of 15 cm at 20 weeks), hydrocephaly, and severe disruption of the telencephalic architecture.

  • §Patient 7 has severe facial anomalies: absence of nasal wing on the right side, right microphthalmia and eye defect.

  • ¶Patient 4: Left foot: fusion of first and second toes, large gap between second and third rays, syndactyly of toes 3–5, absence of the third phalange of digits 3 and 4. Right foot: central large gap with partial syndactyly of toes 3–5, absence of the third phalange of digits 2 and 3.

  • AL, alobar; CCA, corpus callosum agenesis; CDI, central diabetes insipidus; CLP, cleft lip and palate; DD, developmental delay; F, female; GH, growth hormone; HH, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism; HPE, holoprosencephaly; ID, intellectual disability; L, lobar; M, male; na, not applicable; nr, not reported; SL, semilobar; TOP, termination of pregnancy; TRH, thyrotropin releasing hormone.
