Any Seckel syndrome in which the cause of the disease is a mutation in the NSMCE2 gene.
Features include always present findings: Hepatic steatosis, Severe short stature, Hyperplasia of midface, and Insulin resistance and others; and common findings: Retinal detachment. 27 total HPO annotations.
Organ System | Phenotype Count | Example Features |

NSMCE2 encodes NSE2 SUMO ligase component of SMC5/6 complex (247 aa). E3 SUMO-protein ligase component of the SMC5-SMC6 complex, a complex involved in DNA double-strand break repair by homologous recombination. Is not be required for the stability of the complex. Highest expression in Cells EBV-transformed lymphocytes (19.4 TPM) and Artery Tibial (17.1 TPM).
