All three people had varying degrees of global developmental delay and intellectual disability, brain abnormalities, and various abnormal physical features. Two of the three had behavioral issues. While HIVEP2 changes are not currently linked to one diagnosis, the relationship between\u00a0this gene\u00a0and the brain suggests that HIVEP2\u00a0changes may be a cause of the clinical features observed in the people in this study.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Loss-of-function variants in HIVEP2 are a cause of intellectual disability Original research article by S.
