I don't know

Green in ID & DDG2P panel UK. PMID 38753057 reports five monoallelic ATXN7L3 variants in nine unrelated cases. The variants were de novo, where this could be established (8/9 cases). 2/9 microcephaly only one with birth and -2/32 SD, 1/9 macrocephaly. Brain MRI 2/9 periventricular leukomalacia; 1xdelayed myelination; 1x cystic lesion lateral ventricle; 1xvermis atrophy, asymmetic ventricle enlargement. Facial dysmorphism 4/9 hypertelorism; low ears; small mouth. Keep watch.
