SETD5 loss‐of‐function mutation as a likely cause of a familial syndromic intellectual disability with variable phenotypic expression

Loss‐of‐function de novo mutations in the SETD5 gene, encoding a putative methyltransferase, are an important cause of moderate/severe intellectual disability as evidenced by the results of sequencing large patient cohorts. We present the first familial case of a SETD5 mutation contributing to a phenotype of congenital heart defects and dysmorphic features, with variable expression, in two siblings and their father. Interestingly, the father...
