Abstract
NFIB belongs to the nuclear factor I (NFI) family of transcription factors that, by activating or repressing gene expression during embryogenesis, has a relevant role in the development of several organs including the brain. Heterozygous pathogenic variants of NFIB have recently been associated with developmental delay and mild-to-moderate intellectual disability, macrocephaly, nonspecific facial dysmorphisms, and corpus callosum dysgenesis. We identified a heterozygous missense variant in the NFIB gene in a 15-year-old boy with neurodevelopmental disorder and brain malformations, who inherited the variant from his substantially healthy mother presenting only minor physical and neuroanatomical defects.
