What is JARID2-related syndrome? 

 

JARID2-related syndrome happens when there are changes in the JARID2 gene. These changes can keep the gene from working as it should. 

Key Role 

The JARID2 gene plays an important role in human development. 

Symptoms 

Because the JARID2 gene is important for many parts of the body, some people may have: 

  • Intellectual disability 
  • Learning issues 
  • Developmental delay 
  • Autism or features of autism 
  • Behavior issues 
  • Speech issues 

How many people have JARID2-related syndrome?

As of 2024, over 30 people in the world with JARID2-related syndrome have been described in medical research.

Research Article Summaries

Below, we have summarized research articles about changes in the JARID2 gene. We hope you find this information helpful.

The information available about JARID2 is limited, and families and doctors share a critical need for more information. As we learn more from children who have a change in this gene, we expect this list of resources and information to grow.

Full versions of published research articles can be found on PubMed. PubMed is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) online database that is free. It has a collection of both medical and scientific research articles. A PubMed search for JARID2 articles can be found here.

You can also visit the Simons Foundation’s SFARI Gene website to see information for researchers about this gene.
