It consists of four core proteins, SMC1A, SMC3, RAD21, and STAG1\/2, and by proteins regulating the interaction between the complex and the chromosomes. Mutations in the genes coding for these proteins have been demonstrated to cause multisystem developmental disorders known as \u201ccohesinopathies\u201d. The most frequent and well recognized among these distinctive clinical conditions are the Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS, OMIM 122470) and Roberts syndrome (OMIM 268300). STAG1 belongs to the STAG subunit of the core cohesin complex, along with five other subunits. Pathogenic variants in STAG1 gene have recently been reported to cause an emerging syndromic form of neurodevelopmental disorder that is to date poorly characterized. Here, we describe a 5 year old female patient with neurodevelopmental delay, mild intellectual disability, dysmorphic features and congenital anomalies, in which next generation sequencing analysis allowed us to identify a novel pathogenic variation c.2769_2770del p.(Ile924Serfs*8) in STAG1 gene, which result to be de novo. The variant has never been reported before in medical literature and is absent in public databases. Thus, it is useful to expand the molecular spectrum of clinically relevant alterations of STAG1 and their phenotypic consequences.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/genes12081116","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,23]],"date-time":"2021-07-23T10:31:44Z","timestamp":1627036304000},"page":"1116","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Novel STAG1 Frameshift Mutation in a Patient Affected by a Syndromic Form of Neurodevelopmental Disorder"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2588-9841","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ester","family":"Di Muro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Medical Genetics, Fondazione IRCCS-Casa Sollievo della Sofferenza, 71013 San Giovanni Rotondo (Foggia), Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9498-9902","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pietro","family":"Palumbo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Medical Genetics, Fondazione IRCCS-Casa Sollievo della Sofferenza, 71013 San Giovanni Rotondo (Foggia), Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mario","family":"Benvenuto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Medical Genetics, Fondazione IRCCS-Casa Sollievo della Sofferenza, 71013 San Giovanni Rotondo (Foggia), Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria","family":"Accadia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Genetics Service, Hospital \u201cCardinale G.
