Green in ID panel. Mainly ID phenotype. PMID 31303265 in total, brain anomalies were reported in 7 of the 11 individuals (64%) in which a brain MRI was performed. Anomalies observed in at least two individuals were delayed myelination, cerebral atrophy, and corpus callosum abnormalities. Although growth parameters were generally normal, small hands with short and broad digits, especially broad thumbs, as well as flat feet and high-arched feet were reported in some of the individuals. The cupped, prominent, and often low-set ears, present in 16 of the 19 individuals (84%), were most remarkable. Other common facial features included full lips, an open-mouth appearance, a broad and bulbous nasal tip, hypertelorism, epicanthal folds, and peri-orbital fullness.
