Presentation
In addition, one patient presented with nephroblastoma. The possible involvement of QRICH1 in pediatric cancer assumes careful surveillance a key priority for outcome of these patients. [physiciansweekly.com]
Neither variant was present in the gnomAD database. In vitro studies showed that the R536X variant resulted in decreased protein expression, suggesting haploinsufficiency. [findzebra.com]
Here, we present four unrelated individuals with one known nonsense variant (c.1954C > T; p.[Arg652*]) and three novel de novo QRICH1 variants, respectively. These included two frameshift mutations (c.832_833del; p. [semanticscholar.org]
De novo loss-of-function variants in QRICH1 were subsequently identified in three patients presenting with developmental delay/intellectual disability in Ververi et al., 2017; one of these three patients was also diagnosed with ASD. [gene.sfari.org]
Ververi Brady Syndrome is a de novo mutation in the QRICH1 gene that presents with intellectual disability, hypertonia, dysphagia and mild dysmorphism. This Syndrome is not progressive unlike her other one. [rarediseaseday.org]

Prevention
CCHD prevents the heart from pumping blood effectively or reduces the amount of oxygen in the blood. As a result, organs and tissues throughout the body do not receive enough oxygen, which can lead to organ damage and life-threatening complications. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
