BACKGROUND: Heterozygous mutations in CTCF have been reported in patients with distinct clinical features including intellectual disability. However, the precise pathomechanism underlying the phenotype remains to be uncovered, partly because of the diverse function of CTCF. Here we describe extensive clinical and genetic investigation for two patients with a microdeletion encompassing CTCF. METHODS: We performed...
