KCNH1 mutations have been identified in patients with Zimmermann-Laband syndrome and Temple-Baraitser syndrome, as well as patients with uncharacterized syndromes with intellectual disability and overlapping features.
This mutation was already reported in a patient with ZLS that could affect the connecting loop between helices S4-S5 of KCNH1 with a gain of function effect.
Recently, de novo missense KCNH1 mutations have been identified in six patients with Zimmermann-Laband syndrome and in four patients with Temple-Baraitser syndrome.
In summary, we show that the phenotypic variability of individuals with KCNH1 mutations is more pronounced than previously expected, and we discuss whether KCNH1 mutations allow for "lumping" or for "splitting" of TMBTS and ZLS.
Analogous experiments with the KCNN3p.Val450Leu mutant previously identified in a family with portal hypertension indicated basal constitutive channel activity and thus a different gain-of-function mechanism compared to the ZLS-associated mutant channels.

Mutation analysis of nine genes located in 3p21.1-p14.3, including CACNA2D3, which is directly disrupted by one breakpoint of the t(3;17), identified no pathogenic mutation in eight sporadic patients with ZLS.
These data suggest that the gene responsible for ZLS is located in 3p14.3 and implicates four likely candidate genes in this region: CACNA2D3, encoding a voltage-dependent calcium channel, LRTM1, a gene of unknown function embedded within CACNA2D3, WNT5A, encoding a secreted signaling protein of the WNT family, and ERC2, which codes for a synapse protein.

Southern hybridization analysis and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) did not detect submicroscopic deletion or duplication in either CACNA2D3 or WNT5A in ZLS-affected individuals.
De novo missense mutations in KCNH1 and KCNK4, encoding K<sup>+</sup> channels, have been identified in subjects with ZLS and ZLS-like phenotype, respectively.
