A Second Report of a Missense Variant in AMMECR1 Causing Midface Hypoplasia, Hearing Impairment, Elliptocytosis, and Nephrocalcinosis: Case Report and Literature Review.

Abstract excerpt

Pathogenic variants in AMMECR1 have been associated with a rare multisystem disorder characterized by midface hypoplasia, hearing impairment, elliptocytosis, and nephrocalcinosis (MFHIEN). To date, most reported cases involve copy number variants or presumed loss-of-function alterations, with only a single prior report describing a missense variant supported by functional studies.
