– Cohort of individuals with novel NALCN or UNC80 variants; includes 16 individuals with biallelic NALCN variants and 1 individual with a de novo NALCN variant.
- All individuals (16/16) with biallelic NALCN variants presented with neonatal hypotonia, failure to thrive, ID, and muscular hypotonia. Other clinical features include severe ID (14/16), nonverbal (14/16), non-walking (13/16), chronic constipation (14/16), extrapyramidal/abnormal movements (12/16), strabismus (12/16), sleeping difficulties (10/16), increased tendency to infections (9/16), and some individuals presented with seizures (7/16).
- Table 1 describes clinical features of individuals with biallelic NALCN variants, showing 13/19 previously published individuals also had seizures.

Genetic Epilepsy v0.895 UNC80 Zornitza Stark commented on gene: UNC80: UNC80 is part of the NALCN complex, and this is considered a NALCN channelopathy.

More than 20 individuals from more than 5 unrelated families reported with bi-allelic variants in this gene and severe autosomal recessive neurodevelopmental disorder with onset at birth or in early infancy. Affected individuals show severe global developmental delay with poor or absent speech and absent or limited ability to walk. Some have had seizures; brain structure is typically normal.

UNC80 knockout mice are neonatal lethal.
