Primary phenotypes of NDDs include epilepsy, loss of developmental skills, abnormal movements, muscle weakness, ocular anomalies, hearing problems, and macro\u2010 or microcephaly. NDDs occur due to variants in genes encoding proteins involved in the structure and function of CNS, thus interrupting its normal physiological role. In the study presented here, four consanguineous families (A\u2013D), with members showing neurodevelopmental symptoms, were recruited for clinical and genetic characterization of the phenotypes. Clinical examinations, including Seguin Form Board Test (SFBT), Vineland Social Maturity Scale (VSMS), brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Electroencephalogram (EEG), Electromyography (EMG), Nerve Conduction Velocity (NCV), and Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy, were employed to characterize the disease phenotypes. Whole exome sequencing (WES) followed by Sanger sequencing was employed to search for the genetic basis of the neurological symptoms observed in four families (A\u2013D). Two of these families (A, B) were of Saudi Arabian origin, and two others (C, D) were of Pakistan origin. Two homozygous missense (KPTN: NM_007059.4:c.301T&gt;G: NP_008990.2; p.(Phe101Val) and MINPP1:NM_001178118.2:c.1202G&gt;A: NP_001171588.1; p.(Arg401Gln)) variants in families A and B, respectively, and two homozygous nonsense (NGLY1:NM_018297.3:c.1534_1541dup: NP_060767.2; p.(Ser515LysfsTer51) and AP4B1:NM_001253852:c.1668G&gt;A: NP_001240781.1; p.(Trp556X)) variants in families C and D, respectively, were identified. Interestingly, additional heterozygous nonsense variant in SON: NM_138927.2: c.5753_5756del: NP_620305.3; p.(Val1918GlufsTer87) and a homozygous variant in FLG (FLG: NM_002016.2:c.7339C&gt;T: NP_002007.1; p.(Arg2447X) were detected in families A and D, respectively. Further, we determined the deleteriousness of each variant through computational approaches. The present study expands the phenotypic and genetic spectrum of NDD\u2010associated genes (KPTN, MINPP1, NGLY1, and AP4B1). Moreover, additional nonsense variants (SON: c.5753_5756del and FLG: c.7339C&gt;T) identified in two families segregating with the phenotype might explain the phenotypic variability and severity in our patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/jdn.10231","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,1]],"date-time":"2022-10-01T05:11:33Z","timestamp":1664601093000},"page":"788-804","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Clinical
