Neurodevelopmental disorders are a group of disorders in which the development of the central nervous system is disturbed. The genetic basis for many neurodevelopmental disorders has continued to expand and a recent gene called HNRNPH2 (Heterogeneous Nuclear Ribonucleoprotein H2, encoded by HNRNPH2) is one such gene that is associated with a common neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by developmental delay, intellectual disability, autism and autistic features, and tone abnormalities, among other multisystem problems. The investigators will expand the genetic cohort to include any individual with a variant in an hnRNP gene presenting with neurodevelopmental abnormalities. This is non-interventional study that examines both data previously used in clinical practice and prospective data collection in the form of questionnaires and assessments. The investigators will examine patterns of initial presentation, patterns in neurological evaluations; neurological testing including brain MRI and electroencephalography, and outcomes in individuals with a variant in any hnRNP gene.
