PMID 39838643: De novo missense variants at p.Arg225 (p.Arg225Trp and p.Arg225Gln) in two unrelated patients with developmental delay, craniofacial dysmorphism, short stature, hearing impairment, ocular abnormalities and variable additional features. IUGR in one patient and suspected talipes in the other. Only two cases reported but may be prenatally relevant.
