What is HNRNPD-related syndrome?

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

Key Role

The HNRNPD protein binds to a molecule in the cell called RNA. RNA is made from a DNA sequence and is needed for the cell to make proteins. The HNRNPD gene may play an important role in the development of the brain.

Symptoms

Because the HNRNPD gene might be important in development, some people may have:

  • Developmental delay
  • Intellectual disability
  • Speech delay
  • Emotional or behavioral issues
  • Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
  • Seizures

How many people have HNRNPD-related syndrome?

As of 2025, about 13 people in the world with an HNRNPD genetic variant have been identified in medical research.
