ZSWIM6
Function
involved in nervous system development, important for striatal morphology and motor regulation.
Involvement in disease
Acromelic frontonasal dysostosis
AFND
A rare variant form of frontonasal dysplasia, an array of abnormalities affecting the eyes, forehead and nose and linked to midfacial dysraphia. The clinical picture is highly variable. Major findings include true ocular hypertelorism, broadening of the nasal root, median facial cleft affecting the nose and/or upper lip and palate, unilateral or bilateral clefting of the alae nasi, lack of formation of the nasal tip, anterior cranium bifidum occultum, a V-shaped or widow's peak frontal hairline. AFND is characterized by the association of frontonasal malformations with various combinations of polydactyly, tibial hypoplasia, epibulbar dermoid, encephalocoele, corpus callosum agenesis and Dandy-Walker malformation.

The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Neurodevelopmental disorder with movement abnormalities, abnormal gait, and autistic features
NEDMAGA
An autosomal dominant neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by infantile-onset global developmental delay, severe to profound intellectual disability, mildly delayed walking with broad-based and unsteady gait, and absence of meaningful language. Patients have features of autism, with repetitive behaviors and poor communication, but usually are socially reactive and have a happy demeanor. More variable neurologic features include mild seizures, spasticity, and peripheral neuropathy.
