OBJECTIVE: The aim was to provide insights into the clinical and genetic characteristics of ZBTB11-related disorders (ZBTB11-RD), with a particular emphasis on progressive complex movement abnormalities.
METHODS: Thirteen new and 16 previously reported affected individuals, ranging in age from 2 to 50 years, with biallelic ZBTB11 variants underwent clinical and genetic characterization.
RESULTS: All patients exhibited a range of neurodevelopmental phenotypes with varying severity, encompassing ocular and neurological features. Eleven new patients presented with complex abnormal movements, including ataxia, dystonia, myoclonus, stereotypies, and tremor, and 7 new patients exhibited cataracts. Deep brain stimulation was successful in treating 1 patient with generalized progressive dystonia. Our analysis revealed 13 novel variants.
CONCLUSIONS: This study provides additional insights into the clinical features and spectrum of ZBTB11-RD, highlighting the progressive nature of movement abnormalities in the background of neurodevelopmental phenotype. © 2024 The Author(s).
