Genes: RBL2

OMIM: 619690

Abstract

Biallelic loss of function (LOF) variants in RBL2 have recently been associated with a recessive neurodevelopmental syndrome. However, until now only 4 independent families across 3 different reports have been published. We have identified a relatively large cohort of over 15 families with biallelic LOF variants in last 4 years. The aim of this project is to identify new patients with biallelic LOF variants in RBL2 and further delineate the phenotypic and genetic spectrum of this new ultra-rare NDD.
