ABSTRACT
Since the first report of SOPH syndrome among the Yakut population in 2010, new clinical data of SOPH-like conditions continue to appear. We expand the phenotypic spectrum of SOPH syndrome and perform a comparative analysis of Yakut SOPH patients' clinical data with SOPH-like conditions reported in the world scientific literature to form a foundation for NBAS pathogenesis discussion. Clinical data from the genetic records of 93 patients with SOPH syndrome and global survey data on patients with pathogenic variants of the C-terminal in the NBAS gene were collected. A detailed phenotype description of patients is presented with a total number of 111 individuals. Underweight below the fifth centile and prone to delayed bone age in Yakut SOPH patients are retrospectively observed. We outline the short stature with optic atrophy as the leading phenotyping trait for C-terminal NBAS patients. The pathophysiology and patients management of SOPH-like conditions are discussed.
