What is PPP1R9A-related syndrome?
PPP1R9A–related syndrome happens when there are changes in the PPP1R9A gene. These changes can keep the gene from working as it should.
Key Role
The PPP1R9A gene plays an important role in the development and function of brain cells.
Symptoms
Because the PPP1R9A gene is important in brain activity, some people may have:
- Global developmental delay
- Intellectual disability
How many people have PPP1R9A-related syndrome?
As of 2024, people with pathogenic variants of PPP1R9A have not been identified in medical research. Some people with PPP1R9A-related syndrome have been identified in medical clinics, but doctors consider their variants to be of uncertain significance at this time.

Support Resources GeneReviews GeneReviews are a great resource to bring to your child’s clinicians. These publications provide a summary of current research on genetic conditions and information on ongoing care. There are currently no GeneReviews for PPP1R9A. Research Articles and References Below, we have summarized research articles about changes in the PPP1R9A gene. We hope you find this information helpful. The information available about PPP1R9A 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 PPP1R9A articles can be found here.
