Abstract
By trio-based whole-exome sequencing in six unrelated non-consanguineous families we identified a syndromic form of intellectual disability with impaired speech caused by de novo truncating mutations in CHAMP1. This gene encodes a protein involved in microtubule-kinetochore attachment, whose mutations induce its delocalization from chromatin and its inability to bind to its direct partners, POGZ and HP1.
