“…Here, we assessed two variants, one of which is novel, in the 5′‐UTR of NIPBL creating uORFs and resulting in NIPBL translation repression, thus representing a novel mechanism causing CdLS. The number of diseases known to be caused by mutations that introduce or disrupt uORFs is increasing, albeit remaining scarcely reported (Barbosa, Peixeiro, et Romão 2013; Labrouche‐Colomer et al, 2020; Romanelli Tavares et al, 2019; Wright et al, 2021; Zhou et al, 2018). However, variants located in the 5′‐UTR region of NIPBL are rarely identified and require further investigation to assess putative pathogenicity (Borck et al, 2006; Selicorni et al, 2007).…”
