Abstract The UNC13A gene encodes a presynaptic protein that is crucial for setting the strength and dynamics of information transfer between neurons. Here we describe a neurodevelopmental syndrome caused by germline coding or splice-site variants in UNC13A. The syndrome presents with variable degrees of developmental delay and intellectual disability, seizures of different types, tremor and dyskinetic movements and, in some cases, death in early childhood.
