	abstract = {<p>Two siblings, one male and one female, ages 6 and 13 yr old, have similar clinical features of global developmental delay, multiple congenital anomalies affecting the cardiac, genitourinary, and skeletal systems, and abnormal eye movements. Whole-genome sequencing revealed a homozygous splice variant (NM_014462.3:c.231+4A>C) in  that segregated with the phenotype in the family. LSM1 has a role in pre-mRNA splicing and degradation. Expression studies revealed absence of expression of the canonical isoform in the affected individuals. The  knockout mice have a partially overlapping phenotype that affects the brain, heart, and eye. To our knowledge,  has not been associated with any human disorder; however, the tissue expression pattern, gene constraint, and the similarity of the phenotype in our patients and the knockout mice models suggest it has a role in the development of multiple organ systems in humans.</p>},
