Abstract

The Mediator complex subunit 13-like is a part of the large Mediator complex. Recently, a large number of patients were diagnosed with mutations in this gene, which makes it one of the most frequent causes of syndromic intellectual disability. In this work, we report a patient with a novel de novo likely pathogenic variant c.5941C>T, p.(Gln1981∗) in the MED13L gene with severe intellectual disability and facial dysmorphism. Uncommon findings like lack of speech, strabismus and self-destructive behaviour present in our patient allowed us to further define the phenotypic spectrum of mental retardation and distinctive facial features with or without cardiac defects syndrome.
