Satoshi Narumi, Tomonobu Hasegawa and colleagues describe a new adrenal hypoplasia syndrome termed MIRAGE that is caused by mutations in the endosome fusion facilitator SAMD9. They find that patients with these mutations have severe growth restriction phenotypes, and they observe adaptation by aneuploidy, where there is accompanying protective loss of mutation-carrying chromosome 7.
