ABSTRACT
Germline gain of function variants in the oncogene ABL1 cause congenital heart defects and skeletal malformations (CHDSKM) syndrome. Whether a corresponding ABL1 deficiency disorder exists in humans remains unknown although developmental defects in mice deficient for Abl1 support this notion. Here, we describe two multiplex consanguineous families, each segregating a different homozygous likely loss of function variant in ABL1. The associated phenotype is multiple congenital malformations and distinctive facial dysmorphism that are opposite in many ways to CHDSKM. We suggest that a tight balance of ABL1 activity is required during embryonic development and that both germline gain of function and loss of function variants result in distinctively different allelic congenital malformation disorders.
