NCOR2 is a candidate gene for neurodevelopmental disorders

Whole genome and exome sequencing have revolutionized our understanding of the molecular basis of neurodevelopmental disorders. Many neurodevelopmental disorders of unknown etiology or those previously attributed to chromosomal structural variations are now being characterized molecularly. We recently found biallelic variations in NCOR2 encoding nuclear receptor corepressor 2 (NCOR2) in a child with autism, intellectual impairment, and chromosome 16p13.11 microdeletion by whole exome sequencing.
