Chatron et al. describe a novel syndrome caused by bi-allelic loss-of-function mutations in GAD1 , the gene encoding the GABA synthetic enzyme GAD67. The syndrome is characterized by the unique association of developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, cleft palate, joint contractures and/or omphalocele.
