This paper analyzes the clinical manifestations of three patients with developmental delay caused by <jats:italic>ASCC3<\/jats:italic> genetic variation. Additionally, we discuss the previously reported clinical features of these patients along with our own findings, thereby enhancing our understanding of these genetic disorders and providing valuable insights into diagnosis, treatment, and potential interventions for affected individuals.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>In this study, we utilized trio-whole-exome sequencing (Trio-WES) and trio-copy number variations sequencing (Trio-CNV-seq) to analyze three unique families diagnosed with developmental delay caused by variation in <jats:italic>ASCC3<\/jats:italic>. Additionally, we retrospectively examined eleven previously reported <jats:italic>ASCC3<\/jats:italic> genetic variations exhibiting similar clinical features.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Proband I (family 1) and Proband III (family 3) exhibited global developmental delays, characterized by intellectual disability, motor impairment, language retardation, lower muscle strength, and reduced muscle tone in their extremities. Proband II (family 2) presented poor response and dysphagia during feeding within 7\u00a0days after birth, clinical examination displayed short limbs, long trunk proportions, and clenched fists frequently observed alongside high muscle tone in his limbs -all indicative signs of developmental delay. Trio-WES revealed compound heterozygous variants in <jats:italic>ASCC3<\/jats:italic> inherited from their parents. Proband I carried c. [489 dup]; [1897C&amp;gt;T], proband II carried c. [2314C&amp;gt;T]; [5002T&amp;gt;A], and proband III carried c.
