April 2026 in “Human Genome Variation” This study reports on a Pakistani family with three individuals affected by IFAP syndrome type I, linked to the recurrent MBTPS2 splice-site variant c.970+5G>A.

The study also notes variability in phenotypic severity among the families, suggesting the presence of additional modifying factors.
