PMID: 39480921 Kraft et al., 2024
Report of 2 individuals (20yo male and 79yo male) with heterozygous CCT7 variants: c.925_929del p.(Asn309Hisfs*16) - de novo & c.1166_1169delAAAG, p.(Glu389Glyfs*3) - inheritance not known. Patients presented with DD/ID (2/2), cerebral/pyramidal signs (1), seizures (2/2) and MRI abnormalities: Polymicrogyria (2/2).

CCT8 is not yet associated with a disease entity in OMIM (accessed 20th Feb 2026).
