  3. athe CTNND2 gene has been linked to a broad spectrum of human diseases, such as cancer, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, autism, Cri-du-chat syndrome, myopia, cortical cataract-linked Alzheimer’s disease, and infectious diseases. bGlycoprotein A repetitions predominant (GARP), a transmembrane protein containing leucine rich repeats (LRR), has been found to be highly expressed on the surface of activated T-reg cells. cPatients with Usher syndrome type 2 present hearing loss and develop a visual impairment called Retinitis pigmentosa, a disease not observed in our cases, the c.6695A > G variant described in T1 + T2 being not described in this syndrome. dPERRAULT syndrome is a rare recessive disease characterized by hearing loss, ovarian dysgenesis, intellectual disability and ataxia, a condition which is not observed in our cases, the c.1606 T > C (T2) and c.392G > A (T3) variants being not linked to this rare disease. ethe clinical screening of T1 and T2 affected children did not identify hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. fEM: epithelial to mesenchymal transition
