Its phosphorylation by the lysosomal Rag GTPase signaling pathway leads to cytoplasmic sequestration and inactivation promoting ESC differentiation and exit from pluripotency. Somatic translocations of this X\u2010linked gene cause papillary renal cell carcinoma in which nuclear accumulation of the TFE3 oncoprotein is one of the most significant histopathologic characteristics. Early this year, Villegas et al. identified missense mutations in a <jats:italic>TFE3<\/jats:italic> domain required for cytoplasmic inactivation as potentially causal for a mosaic human developmental disorder. They published five patients with de novo <jats:italic>TFE3<\/jats:italic> nonsynonymous missense variants, four females and one male, with severe intellectual disability (5\/5), coarse facial features (4\/5), and Blaschkoid pigmentary mosaicism (4\/5). The only male described has somatic mosaicism. All patients had normal brain Magnetic Resonance Imagings (MRIs). We present two unrelated females with this distinctive phenotype including the above triad along with other features not previously well described. Both were found to have de novo heterozygous variants in <jats:italic>TFE3<\/jats:italic> on whole exome sequencing, one nonsynonymous missense, and one canonical splice site variant, thereby expanding the phenotypic and mutational spectrum for this disorder. Interestingly, due to significant coarsening of the facial features, both patients were initially thought to have a lysosomal storage disorder but enzyme screening and brain MRIs were negative.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ajmg.a.61437","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,13]],"date-time":"2019-12-13T06:56:25Z","timestamp":1576220185000},"page":"584-590","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["<i>TFE3<\/i>\u2010associated neurodevelopmental disorder: A distinct recognizable syndrome"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"182","author":[{"given":"Jullianne","family":"Diaz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Genetics, Rare Disease Institute, Children's National Health System  Washington District of Columbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Seth","family":"Berger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Genetics, Rare Disease Institute, Children's National Health System  Washington District of Columbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1852-2849","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eyby","family":"Leon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Genetics, Rare Disease Institute, Children's National Health System  Washington District of Columbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.onc.1201394"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1083\/jcb.201710039"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1083\/jcb.201607005"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/nature21062"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.15252\/emmm.201607204"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1158\/1541-7786.MCR-17-0320"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.stem.2018.11.021"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s13046-019-1101-7"}],"container-title":["American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1002%2Fajmg.a.61437","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1002\/ajmg.a.61437","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1002\/ajmg.a.61437","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1002\/ajmg.a.61437","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,7]],"date-time":"2023-09-07T18:35:37Z","timestamp":1694111737000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/ajmg.a.61437"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,12]]},"references-count":8,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2020,3]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1002\/ajmg.a.61437"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/ajmg.a.61437","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1552-4825","1552-4833"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1552-4825","type":"print"},{"value":"1552-4833","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,12]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2019-05-13","order":0,"name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2019-11-18","order":1,"name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2019-12-12","order":2,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
