Dolichocephaly, arachnodactyly, diplopia, and distal myopathy have not been reported in carriers of a pathogenic MICU1 variant. The patient is a 23-year-old female with consanguineous parents (first cousins) who was a carrier of the homozygous MICU1 variant c.553C>T, phenotypically presenting with developmental delay, intellectual disability, ataxia, dysmorphia (dolichocephaly, arachnodactyly, clinodactyly, hypertelorism, wide nasal bridge), myopathy (ptosis, double vision, strabismus, distal limb weakness, diffuse wasting, hypotonia), hyperextensible joints and hyperkyphosis...
