Loss-of-function of the Zinc Finger Homeobox 4 (ZFHX4) gene underlies a neurodevelopmental disorder

María del Rocío Pérez Baca, María Palomares‐Bralo, Michiel Vanhooydonck, Lisa Hamerlinck, Eva D’haene, Sebastian Leimbacher, Eva Jacobs, Laurenz De Cock, Erika D’haenens, Annelies Dheedene, Zoë Malfait, Lies Vantomme, Ananilia Silva, Kathleen Rooney, Xiaonan Zhao, , Stephanie Baskin

This study identifies ZFHX4 loss-of-function variants as a cause of a neurodevelopmental disorder with distinctive facial features and brain abnormalities, supported by zebrafish models.
