The Arg99Gln Substitution in HNRNPC Is Associated with a Distinctive Clinical Phenotype Characterized by Facial Dysmorphism and Ocular and Cochlear Anomalies.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Heterozygous variants in the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein C gene (HNRNPC) have recently been reported to cause intellectual developmental disorder-74 (MRD74), a neurodevelopmental disorder with no recurrent diagnostic handles. Affected individuals show variable, non-specific, and subtle dysmorphic features. The degree of developmental delay (DD)/intellectual disability (ID) is also wide, ranging from mild to severe. The mutational spectrum is relatively broad with exon deletions and splice site and frameshift variants distributed along the entire length of the gene leading to HNRNPC loss of function. Only two missense changes located within the RNA-binding motif (RBM) and adjacent linker region of the more abundant isoform (Arg64Trp and Arg99
