Growth failure

Gene: DDX11

Green List (high evidence)

PMID 30216658 reviews 12 individuals reported to date: severe microcephaly with prenatal onset was identified in all patients, and severe pre- and postnatal growth restriction was observed in 11 of 11 patients. All 12 patients had sensorineural hearing loss, with 10 of 10 having cochlear hypoplasia or functional abnormalities; 1 patient had a posterior labyrinthine anomaly. In all 4 patients who had brain imaging, abnormalities were identified. Some patients had other structural anomalies, including cardiac defects (5/12), recurrent infections (4/9), and skin pigmentation changes (6/12). Craniofacial features included a depressed nasal bridge with a broad nasal tip and overhanging columella. Elevated induced chromosome breakage was observed in 6 of 8 reported patients. Cohesin defects (premature chromatid separation and premature centromere division) were consistent in most metaphases among the patients examined.
