The patient exhibited multisystem dysfunction, including periventricular nodular heterotopia, congenital heart disease (perimembranous ventricular septal defect), congenital short bowel syndrome, lung disease, and fatal sepsis. We analyzed this case along with a systematic review of 62 cases of male patients with\n                      <jats:italic>FLNA<\/jats:italic>\n                      mutations to explore genotype\u2013phenotype relationships. Results: Following the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics and the Association for Molecular Pathology guidelines, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic (PVS1, PM2, and PP3). Segregation analysis confirmed maternal inheritance.
