Turnpenny-Fry syndrome is caused by mutations in the PCGF2 gene.

Study analysed the DNA of families with unexplained, severe development disorders.

More than 13,500 families from 24 regional genetics services across the UK and Ireland were recruited to the Deciphering Developmental Disorders (DDD) study. All the families had children with a severe developmental disorder, which was undiagnosed despite prior testing through their national health service and likely to be caused by a single genetic change. Combined with other high-tech methods, the team have so far been able to provide genetic diagnoses for around 5,500 children. The diagnoses ...

Individually the disorders are rare, but collectively they affect one in every 17 people in the UK.

Scientists have identified 60 previously unknown medical conditions, including Turnpenny-Fry syndrome which causes learning difficulties

Among them is a two-year-old girl who was diagnosed with a disease that causes severe developmental disorder.

The tool greatly expanded the number of diagnoses researchers could provide for kids with developmental disorders in the U.K. and Ireland.

Large study found genomic analysis delivered answers for 41% of kids with undiagnosed disease

Among them is a two-year-old girl who was diagnosed with a disease that causes severe developmental disorder.
