RESUMEN
Intellectual disability (ID) is a complicated and multifactorial condition often with an unclear cause. Advancements in diagnostic techniques have identified genetic causes in a significant proportion. Pathogenic variants in TRIP12, encoding for an E3 ligand in the ubiquitin-protease pathway, have previously been identified as a cause of ID with autistic behavior and dysmorphic features. We report two unrelated patients with de novo mutations in TRIP12 and diagnoses of global developmental delay, autism spectrum disorder and dysmorphic features, as well as a range of other characteristics. Exome sequencing was utilized as part of an extensive genetic workup for both individuals. The genotypic and phenotypic data for both patients has been collated with previously reported data. Epilepsy was noted in about 20% published cases. One of our patents had epilepsy. These cases highlight the variable phenotypic presentations of TRIP12 variations while emphasizing the core features of ID and speech delay, with or without autistic features and epilepsy.
