Introduction: Cullin-3, encoded by the , is a core component of the ubiquitin E3 ligase complex. Through binding to specific adapters, this scaffold protein mediates the ubiquitination of a number of substrates, targeting their proteasomal degradation. Pathogenic variations of the are thought to cause autism and neurodevelopmental disorders, but so far, few studies have been associated with the phenotype "neurodevelopmental disorder with or without autism or seizures (NEDAUS, #OMIM: 619239).

Article Synopsis
  • A 25-year-old woman diagnosed with PJS had genetic tests that initially showed no pathogenic variant, prompting a deeper analysis using next-generation sequencing (NGS).
  • This re-examination revealed a novel mosaic variant in the STK11 gene, highlighting the need for considering mosaicism in cases where traditional testing fails to identify a variant, which is crucial for patient management and genetic counseling.
