Abstract

YY1 mutations cause Gabriele‐de Vries syndrome, a recently described condition involving cognitive impairment, facial dysmorphism and intrauterine growth restriction. Movement disorders were reported in 5/10 cases of the original series, but no detailed description was provided. Here we present a 21‐year‐old woman with a mild intellectual deficit, facial dysmorphism and a complex movement disorder including an action tremor, cerebellar ataxia, dystonia, and partial ocular apraxia as the presenting and most striking feature. Whole‐exome sequencing revealed a novel heterozygous de novo mutation in YY1 [NM: 003403.4 (YY1): c.907 T > C; p.(Cys303Arg)], classified as pathogenic according to the ACMG guidelines.
