We report two Colombian siblings affected by overgrowth, intellectual disability and facial dysmorphism. Exome (via NGS ) and Sanger sequencing revealed that biallelic sequence variants in a novel gene ( HERC1 ) might be related to the disease pathogenesis. These results provide useful data for future genotype–phenotype correlations and for a molecular diagnosis of overgrowth.
