Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mandibulofacial dysostosis with microcephaly (MFDM) is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disease characterized by intellectual and growth retardations, as well as major microcephaly, induced by missense and splice site variants or microdeletions in the EFTUD2 gene. CASE PRESENTATION: Here, we investigate the case of a young girl with symptoms of MFDM and a normal karyotype. Whole-exome sequencing of...
