Individuals with WAC mutations. (a) Frontal and lateral photographs of individuals with de novo mutations in WAC. All individuals shared overlapping facial dysmorphisms including a square-shaped face, long palpebral fissures, broad mouth and broad chin. Additional features included deep set eyes, epicanthal folds and short philtrum in Individual 1 (photograph at the age of 19 years); low posterior hairline, broad forehead, simple ears, hypertelorism, deep set eyes, low-set full eyebrows, synophrys, deep nasal bridge, flat nose, bifid tongue and broad gums in Individual 2 (photographs at the age of 12 years and 23 years); brachycephaly, posterior ear creases, broad forehead, prominent antihelix, low-set full eyebrows, synophrys and prominent teeth in Individual 3 (photographs at the age of 4 years and 9 years); prominent antihelix, frontal bossing, dental crowding, broad teeth and high palate in Individual 6 (photographs at the age of 3 years and 20 years) and prominent antihelix and deep set eyes in Individual 9 (photographs at the age of 3 years). Photographs were published with consent. (b) The genomic region involved in the 10p12p11 contiguous gene deletion region with the previously published microdeletions, represented by gray horizontal bars.14, 15, 16 (c) Detailed view of the smallest region of overlap (SRO) and the deletion described in this study, represented by a red horizontal bar. In addition, de novo mutations in WAC (NM_016628.3) reported in this study are shown according to their relative position at protein level.
