BL bilateral, CA coarctation of the aorta, IUGR intrauterine growth retardation, NA not applicable, NR no record, PDA patent ductus arteriosus, PS pulmonic stenosis, VSD ventricular septal defect, PFO patent foramen ovale, CNV copy-number variant, SNV, single-nucleotide variant, MRI magnetic resonance image
  2. aSTAG1 was affected by both CNV deletion and SNVs/indels. The deletions included three de novo and one with unknown parent of origin, which encompassed STAG1 and PCCB; one intragenic, which was absent in the mother; and two intragenic, which were maternally inherited; the SNVs/indels included eight de novo missense and two de novo frameshift variants of STAG1 Facial features included 14/17 with deep-set eyes, 13/17 with wide mouth, 7/17 with high nasal bridge, 8/17 with thin eyebrows, 4/17 with widely spaced central incisorsc Micrognathia, ear abnormalities, wide-set eyes, beaked or prominent nose, arched eyebrows, or low-set ears, cleft/arched palate
