MORC2 variants have commonly been associated with CMT, presenting axonal neuropathy with progressive weakness, muscle cramps and sensory impairment. However, Sacoto et al (2020) (PMID: 32693025) present a cohort of 20 individuals (19 kindreds) with a neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by DD, ID (18/20 - mild to severe), short stature (18/20), microcephaly (15/20) and variable craniofacial dysmorphisms. Hearing loss was observed in 11/19 subjects, primarily SNHL.
