Presentation
In addition to hypotonia, 9 individuals presented with clinical neuropathy by age 10, 6 of whom were younger than age 5. [findzebra.com]
Computational modelling shows that subtle overlapping facial dysmorphism is present. [jmg.bmj.com]
SYNE2 is within the triplicated segment; therefore, it is present in four copies. Since it maps to the equal dosage allele triplicated segment, reference and variant alleles are present two times each. [genomemedicine.biomedcentral.com]
Arrhythmias and conduction disorders are present in 12% of subjects and include right conduction delay and ventricular pre-excitation [9,34]. [mdpi.com]

Entire Body System
- Pain
Other signs and symptoms of YUHAL syndrome begin in childhood and result from damage to peripheral nerves, which connect the brain and spinal cord to muscles and to sensory cells that detect sensations such as touch, pain, and heat. [encyclopedia.pub]
[…] produce reduced deep tendon reflexes, a peculiar profile of lower limbs (i.e., the inverted champagne bottle appearance), abnormal gait (flapping feet, toe walking), pes cavus or pes planus [9,15]; moreover, the decreased sensitivity to temperature and pain [mdpi.com]

- Epilepsy
In future, studies focusing on epilepsy will be important to optimise treatment of seizures related to PURA syndrome. In general, individuals with epilepsy were more severely affected than individuals without epilepsy. [jmg.bmj.com]

- Failure to Thrive in Infancy
Most patients had feeding difficulties, hypotonia, and failure to thrive in infancy, and all had global developmental delay with delayed walking, speech delay, and behavioral difficulties. [findzebra.com]

Gastrointestinal
- Constipation
Additional common but variable features included chronic constipation, foot deformities, joint laxity, and congenital heart defects often involving the left ventricular outflow system. [findzebra.com]
Chronic constipation MedGen UID: 98325 •Concept ID: C0401149 • Sign or Symptom Constipation for longer than three months with fewer than 3 bowel movements per week, straining, lumpy or hard stools, and a sensation of anorectal obstruction or incomplete [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Constipation was often present (62%) and may be severe, requiring the use of laxatives from early age. [jmg.bmj.com]
As for many other genetic conditions, scoliosis and constipation are common [8,9,21,25,28,43]. Immunologic. The production of antibodies is impaired in 60% of individuals, predisposing to recurrent airways infections [44]. [mdpi.com]
Musculoskeletal
- Muscle Weakness
As a result, individuals with a duplication of the PMP22 gene develop muscle weakness and impaired sensitivity to touch, heat, and cold. [encyclopedia.pub]
Hypotonia is not the same as muscle weakness, although the two conditions can co-exist. Joint laxity MedGen UID: 39439 •Concept ID: C0086437 • Finding Lack of stability of a joint. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Infants with YUHAL syndrome usually have weak muscle tone (hypotonia), which may lead to feeding problems. They typically do not grow and gain weight at the expected rate. [malacards.org]
- Foot Deformity
Additional common but variable features included chronic constipation, foot deformities, joint laxity, and congenital heart defects often involving the left ventricular outflow system. [findzebra.com]
- Muscular Atrophy
Although not a consistent feature, the presence of myoclonic jerks in a neonate with other features of PURA syndrome may be a useful feature to distinguish from Prader-Willi syndrome or peripheral neuromuscular disorders such as spinal muscular atrophy [jmg.bmj.com]
Skin

Neurologic
- Behavior Problem
Despite his challenges, he’s a high achiever without any behavioral problems. “He’s the only full-inclusion special needs child in his kindergarten class, which means he participates in all subjects with the help of a one-on-one aide,” Gerlach says. [healthier.stanfordchildrens.org]
Considering that nearly all SMS individuals have behavioral problems and sleep disturbance, treatments focus on behavioral and educational interventions that target these cardinal traits. [mdpi.com]
- Walking Delay
Delayed ability to walk MedGen UID: 66034 •Concept ID: C0241726 • Finding A failure to achieve the ability to walk at an appropriate developmental stage. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
Tasimelteon is an oral melatonin receptor agonist that was developed for the treatment of circadian sleep–wake rhythm disorders. In 2020, this drug was approved in the US for the treatment of nighttime sleep disturbances in SMS [132]. [mdpi.com]
The epilepsy is often refractory to medical treatment and some individuals have never been seizure free. [jmg.bmj.com]

TRP can potentially contribute to disease etiology via gene dosage effects [2, 3], gene disruption at breakpoint junctions [4], position effects [5, 6], or fusion gene formation [7]. [genomemedicine.biomedcentral.com]
Moreover, the increase of H3K9me2/3 correlates with altered expression of protocadherins, principal regulators of cell-cell adhesion and neuronal connectivity associated with ASD etiology [119]. [mdpi.com]
