Human Genome Variation, Published online: 12 March 2026; doi:10.1038/s41439-026-00339-1 Zinc finger MYND-type containing 11 (ZMYND11) is a gene linked to a rare neurodevelopmental disorder. This disorder often causes developmental delays, intellectual disabilities and unique facial features. Most cases are due to loss-of-function variants, but missense variants are less understood. This study focuses on a specific missense variant in ZMYND11. The researchers studied a young boy carrying this variant, who exhibited symptoms such as developmental delay and distinctive facial features. They used genetic testing to identify the variant and compared his symptoms with other known cases. The study involved detailed clinical evaluations and genetic analysis using exome sequencing. The findings suggest that missense variants might lead to different symptoms than loss-of-function variants, such as more severe intellectual disabilities. The study highlights the need for more research to understand these differences better.This summary was initially drafted using artificial intelligence, then revised and fact-checked by the author.
