Disruption of their monoallelic expressions leads to imprinting disorders (ImpDis). The aim of this study is to achieve proper diagnosis of ImpDis in Egyptian patients through clinical evaluation and genetic testing, emphasizing certain clinical manifestations that may indicate ImpDis to provide accurate diagnosis and genetic counseling.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Fifty-three patients, either clinically evaluated for Impaired Disposition (ImpDis) or suspected to have it, were referred from the outpatient genetic clinics at the National Research Center, Egypt. Nineteen patients displayed clinical manifestations of ImpDis syndromes, while 34 showed signs affecting growth, which suggested ImpDis. These growth-related symptoms included growth retardation, feeding problems, failure to thrive, hypoglycemia, obesity, hemihypertrophy, asymmetry, and overgrowth. Of the 19 patients with syndromic ImpDis, 8 were clinically diagnosed with Silver-Russell syndrome (SRS), 7 with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS), and 4 with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS). We employed methylation-specific multiple ligation-dependent probe amplification (MS-MLPA) for all patients, SNP-array testing for 12 patients, and whole exome sequencing (WES) for one patient.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>In patients with Silver-Russell syndrome (SRS), one patient exhibited hypermethylation of the <jats:italic>GRB10<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>MEST<\/jats:italic> genes, along with segmental uniparental disomy (UPD) on chromosome 7 (patient 1). Another patient had a variant in the <jats:italic>HMGA2<\/jats:italic> gene (NM_001300918.1:c.310dup), which, according to the American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG) criteria, was classified as PM2 VUS (patient 2). In patients with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS), one patient showed hypermethylation of the <jats:italic>SNPRN<\/jats:italic> gene (patient 3). In patients with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS), two displayed hypomethylation of the <jats:italic>KCNQ-CR<\/jats:italic> region (patients 4 and 5). Among the group of patients with symptoms suggestive of ImpDis, no methylation defects were detected through MS-MLPA.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>It is crucial to diagnose ImpDis accurately, as understanding the exact cause of ImpDis is important for genetic counseling and personalized medicine.
