Free Text: "birth weight of 2.6 Kg (< 10th centile), head circumference of 33 cm (< 3rd centile). At the age of 8 months, her developmental delay was noticed as she was unable to sit unsupported. Formally evaluated at one year of age, at which point EEG was suggestive of symptomatic localization-related epilepsy. EEG revealed ill-defined low spikes over the left temporooccipital area, suggesting symptomatic partial epilepsy. At age 11 developed subtle facial dysmorphic features, including bushy eyebrows, bulbous nose, anteverted nostrils, thick lower lip, pointed chin, high arched palate, irregular teeth, and waxy ears. As an eleven years and three months old girl, she is able to sit independently, without support. However, she has difficulty in standing from squat position. She can ambulate independently with a wide based gait with hands on flexion position, but is not able to run, jump, or pedal tricycle. She can climb stairs, but with support. She demonstrated a pincer grasp. She can do purposeful movements; as in the ability to reach, hold and transfer objects, and she can bring food to mouth. She can also dress herself with help, but does not zip or button. She does not have any meaningful speech, but babbles socially."

CasePreviousTesting Brain MRI, thyroid function tests, metabolic screening, and eye examination were normal; as were the following genetic investigations: chromosomal microarray, karyotyping, FISH for 15q11–13 deletion, subtelomeric FISH, methylation analysis for Angelmann, and molecular analysis for UBE3A gene.
"A 186 such variants were looked at individually in order to uncover any connections with the patient’s phenotype in the context of various modes of inheritance in the analyzed trio. For example, heterozygous mutations in NDRG4, RELN, TYRP1, REEP6, FABP2 and others were found and given low priority when looked at in the light of the patient’s phenotype. None of the other variants from that list appeared to have enough functional links to the patient’s condition to merit discussing it along with the UNC80 variant."
