Summary

Excerpted from the GeneReview: DLG4-Related Synaptopathy
DLG4-related synaptopathy is characterized by developmental delay, intellectual disability (most commonly in the mild-to-moderate range), and autism spectrum disorder. About half of affected individuals have epilepsy. Regression in motor development and/or language has been reported in about 40% of affected individuals. Other neurologic findings can include hypotonia, movement disorder (most commonly stereotypies and ataxia), dystonia, tremor, and migraine headaches. Sleep disturbance is common, with sleep onset and/or sleep maintenance difficulties being frequently reported. Strabismus is the most common ocular finding followed by hyperopia, nystagmus, and cortical blindness. Vomiting is observed in a number of individuals and can be triggered by seizures, motion sickness, or fatigue. Joint laxity is a relatively common finding (36.9%), and scoliosis is noted in 20% of individuals.
