Novel variants in the SOX11 gene: clinical description of seven new patients.

ABSTRACT: Pathogenic SOX11 variants have been associated with intellectual developmental disorder with microcephaly, and with or without ocular malformations or hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH) (IDDMOH, OMIM # 615866). In this article, we report seven new patients with de novo SOX11 variants. Five of the variants are missense, one nonsense, and one whole-gene deletion, most of them are novel variants. The main clinical features included neurodevelopmental delay (7/7) and intellectual disability (5/7), autism/attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (5/7), microcephaly (4/7), short stature (4/7), hypotonia (4/7), and clinodactyly of the 5th fingers (5/7). HH was confirmed in two female patients with primary amenorrhea, nonvisualized/prepubertal size of the uterus, and nonvisualized ovaries. Two of
