EPG5 (OMIM *615068, #242840; ORPHA:1493)
Abstract
Vici syndrome (OMIM 242840) is a severe, early-onset neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by the key features of callosal agenesis, cataracts, cardiomyopathy, generalized hypopigmentation, and combined immunodeficiency. Since its recognition as a distinct entity, additional cases have suggested an extended phenotype to less specific neurodevelopmental phenotypes of more moderate severity and adolescent-onset movement disorders. The term “EPG5-related disorder” refers to biallelic EPG5 variants within this entire phenotypic spectrum.
