“…This observation extends to other cancer related genes, such as ATRX and KDM5C involved in X-linked mental disability (Gibbons et al, 1995), KMT2D and KDM6A in Kabuki syndrome (Ng et al, 2010;Lederer et al, 2012), SQSTM1 in Paget disease (Ralston and Albagha, 2014), and DMNT3A in Tatton-Brown-Rahman syndrome (Tatton-Brown et al, 2014), while mutations of chromatin remodelers play crucial roles in both cancer and neurodevelopmental disorders (Ronan et al, 2013). Recently, a significant overlap was found between 285 newly identified genes associated to developmental delay and cancer drivers (Kaplanis et al, 2020), and cancer-driving mutations were found to be enriched in genomic regions intolerant of variation (Vitsios et al, 2022). Here, we set out to investigate systematically the extent to which the mutational spectrum of cancer and that of genetic disorders overlap.…”
