However, genetics underlying isolated forms is still poorly recognized. Here, we report on two female familial cases with partial ACC. The proband shows isolated partial ACC and a mild neurodevelopmental phenotype. A fetus from a previous interrupted pregnancy exhibited a complex phenotype including partial ACC and the occurrence of a de novo 17q12 microduplication, which was interpreted as probably disease\u2010causing.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A trio\u2010based clinical exome sequencing (CES) was performed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Clinical exome sequencing data analysis led to identifying a heterozygous nonsense variant (NM_139058.3:c.922G&gt;T; NP_620689.1:p.Glu308Ter) in the aristaless related homeobox gene (<jats:italic>ARX<\/jats:italic>) in the proband, with a putative de novo occurrence, producing a hypothetical protein lacking two essential domains.
