THOC6

Clinical Characteristics

THOC6 intellectual disability syndrome is associated with moderate-to-severe developmental delay or intellectual disability; nonspecific dysmorphic facial features (tall forehead, deep-set eyes, short and upslanted palpebral fissures, epicanthal folds, and long nose with low-hanging columella); microcephaly (typically 2-3 SD below the mean); teeth anomalies (dental caries, malocclusion, and supernumerary teeth); cardiac anomalies (most typically atrial and/or ventricular septal defects); prenatal ventriculomegaly and hydrocephalus; cryptorchidism in males; and renal malformations (most commonly unilateral renal agenesis). More rarely, affected individuals may have hypergonadotropic hypogonadism (in females), seizures, poor growth, feeding difficulties, hearing loss, refractive errors and/or other eye abnormalities, vertebral anomalies, micro/retrognathia, and imperforate / anteriorly placed anus.

THOC6 intellectual disability syndrome should be considered in individuals with the following clinical and imaging findings:

•    Moderate-to-severe developmental delay (DD) or intellectual disability (ID)

AND

•    One or more of the following features presenting in infancy or childhood:
    o    Microcephaly
    o    Multiple dental caries and/or dental malocclusion
    o    Nonspecific dysmorphic features, including tall forehead, deep set eyes, short and upslanted palpebral fissures, epicanthal folds and long nose with low hanging columella
    o    Cryptorchidism in males
    o    Structural cardiac anomalies
    o    Structural renal anomalies
    o    Ventriculomegaly on brain imaging
