Case report: Compound heterozygous NUP85 variants cause autosomal recessive primary microcephaly.

ABSTRACT: Nucleoporin (NUP) 85 is a member of the Y-complex of nuclear pore complex (NPC) that is key for nucleocytoplasmic transport function, regulation of mitosis, transcription, and chromatin organization. Mutations in various nucleoporin genes have been linked to several human diseases. Among them, NUP85 was linked to childhood-onset steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) in four affected individuals with intellectual disability but no microcephaly. Recently, we broaden the phenotype spectrum of NUP85-associated disease by reporting NUP85 variants in two unrelated individuals with primary autosomal recessive microcephaly (MCPH) and Seckel syndrome (SCKS) spectrum disorders (MCPH-SCKS) without SRNS. In this study, we report compound heterozygous NUP85 variants in an index pati
