Abstract
USP9X variants have been reported in patients with X-linked intellectual disability. Here, we report two female patients with intellectual disability and pigment abnormalities along Blaschko lines. Targeted resequencing identified two novel heterozygous variants, c.4068_4072del (p. (Leu1357Tyrfs*12)) and c.1201C>T (p. (Arg401*)), in USP9X. Our findings provide further evidence that USP9X variants cause intellectual disability.
Highlights
USP9X variants have been reported in patients with X-linked intellectual disability
USP9X encodes ubiquitinspecific protease 9×, which is highly expressed in the mouse brain and plays important roles in nervous system development, stabilization of myeloid leukemia cell differentiation protein (MCL1) in human follicular lymphomas and diffuse large B-cell lymphomas, and tumor cell survival[4,5,6]
We identified novel USP9X variants in two female patients with X-linked ID (XLID) by using targeted resequencing
