At least 11 NAV3 variants have been reported in 11 unrelated families with a neurodevelopmental disorder, with dysmorphism and other features (PMIDs: 38977784;39038237;39708122). The NAV3 variants were homozygous in the affected members of eight of these families, de novo heterozygous NAV3 variants were found in two families (PED4263 & MI01 in PMID: 38977784) and in one case the heterozygous NAV3 variant was inherited from the mother (FM1 in PMID: 38977784). A nav3 knock-zebrafish model resulted in severe morphological defects, microcephaly, impaired neuronal growth, and behavioral impairment, this phenotype was rescued with co-injection of WT NAV3 mRNA, but not pathogenic variant NAV3 mRNA (PMID: 38977784). Varying degrees of intellectual disability was evident in the patients carrying NAV3 variants (severe 2/11, moderate 2/11, mild 7/11)(PMIDs: 38977784;39038237;39708122).
