Summary

Clinical characteristics.

SRCAP-related Floating-Harbor syndrome (SRCAP-FHS) is characterized by typical craniofacial features; low birth weight, normal head circumference, and short stature; bone age delay that normalizes between ages six and 12 years; skeletal anomalies (brachydactyly, broad fingertips, clinodactyly, short thumbs, prominent joints, and clavicular abnormalities); severe receptive and expressive language impairment; hypernasality and high-pitched voice; and intellectual disability that is typically mild to moderate. Difficulties with temperament and behavior, present in many children, tend to improve in adulthood. Other features can include hyperopia and/or strabismus, conductive hearing loss, seizures, gastroesophageal reflux, renal anomalies (e.g., hydronephrosis / renal pelviectasis, cysts, and/or agenesis), and genital anomalies (e.g., hypospadias and/or undescended testes).

Diagnosis/testing.

The diagnosis is established in a proband with suggestive findings and a heterozygous SRCAP pathogenic variant identified by molecular genetic testing.

Management.

Treatment of manifestations: Referral to an endocrinologist for consideration of human growth hormone (HGH) therapy; however, data on use of HGH in SRCAP-FHS are limited. Early intervention programs, special education, and vocational training to address developmental disabilities; communication rehabilitation with sign language or alternative means of communication; behavior management by a behavioral specialist / psychologist with consideration of medication as needed. Standard treatment for refractive errors, strabismus, hearing loss, seizures, gastroesophageal reflux, constipation, kidney and genitourinary anomalies, orthopedic, dental, and cardiac issues; family and social work support.

Surveillance: Close monitoring of growth, especially in the first year of life. Bone age and evaluation for signs of early puberty as needed, especially in those on HGH. Monitor developmental progress and educational needs at each visit. Assess for seizures, gastroesophageal reflux, constipation, and manifestations of celiac disease at each visit. Annual behavioral assessment, ophthalmologic evaluation, audiology evaluation, blood pressure measurement, and assessment of kidney function. Monitor kidney anomalies per nephrologist. Kidney ultrasound to assess for cysts in teenage and adult years with follow up as needed. Orthopedic assessment for kyphoscoliosis and clinical manifestations of Perthes disease as needed. Dental evaluation every six months.

Genetic counseling.

SRCAP-FHS is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. The majority of affected individuals have a de novo pathogenic variant. Each child of an individual with SRCAP-FHS has a 50% chance of inheriting the pathogenic variant. Prenatal and preimplantation genetic testing are possible for families in which the pathogenic variant has been identified.

Diagnosis

No consensus clinical diagnostic criteria for SRCAP-related Floating-Harbor syndrome (SRCAP-FHS) have been published.

Suggestive Findings

SRCAP-FHS should be suspected in individuals with the following clinical and radiographic features.

Craniofacial appearance (See Figure 1.)

  • Triangular face
  • Deep-set eyes
  • Short philtrum
  • Wide mouth with thin vermilion of the upper lip
  • Long nose with narrow bridge, broad base, broad tip, and low-hanging columella
  • Low-set ears

Other features

  • Proportionate short stature (see Figure 3). Adult stature of 140-155 cm
  • Significant delay in bone age early in childhood (≥2 standard deviations below the mean for age and sex) with normalization between ages six and 12 years
  • Skeletal anomalies. Brachydactyly, broad fingertips that give the appearance of clubbing, clinodactyly, short thumbs, prominent joints (see Figure 2), and clavicular abnormalities

Speech and language

  • Dysarthria and verbal dyspraxia with phoneme imprecision
  • Hypernasality
  • High-pitched voice
  • Severe receptive and expressive language impairment across all domains of function

Intellectual disability. All individuals have some degree of intellectual impairment and/or learning disability ranging from borderline normal to moderate intellectual disability.

Family history. Because SRCAP-FHS is typically caused by a de novo pathogenic variant, most probands represent a simplex case (i.e., a single occurrence in a family). Rarely, the family history may be consistent with autosomal dominant inheritance (e.g., affected males and females in multiple generations).

Establishing the Diagnosis

The diagnosis of SRCAP-FHS is established in a proband with suggestive findings and a heterozygous pathogenic (or likely pathogenic) variant in SRCAP identified by molecular genetic testing (see Table 1).

Note: (1) Per ACMG/AMP variant interpretation guidelines, the terms "pathogenic variant" and "likely pathogenic variant" are synonymous in a clinical setting, meaning that both are considered diagnostic and can be used for clinical decision making [Richards et al 2015]. Reference to "pathogenic variants" in this GeneReview is understood to include likely pathogenic variants. (2) Identification of a heterozygous SRCAP variant of uncertain significance does not establish or rule out the diagnosis.

Molecular genetic testing approaches can include a combination of gene-targeted testing (single gene testing, multigene panel) and comprehensive genomic testing (exome sequencing, genome sequencing). Gene-targeted testing requires that the clinician determine which gene(s) are likely involved (see Option 1), whereas comprehensive genomic testing does not (see Option 2).

Option 1

When the phenotypic findings suggest the diagnosis of SRCAP-FHS, molecular genetic testing approaches can include single-gene testing or use of a multigene panel.

  • Single-gene testing. Sequence analysis of SRCAP detects missense, nonsense, and splice site variants and small intragenic deletions/insertions. Note: Depending on the sequencing method used, single-exon, multiexon, or whole-gene deletions/duplications may not be detected. If no variant is detected by the sequencing method used, the next step is to perform gene-targeted deletion/duplication analysis to detect exon and whole-gene deletions or duplications.
  • A multigene panel that includes SRCAP and other genes of interest (see Differential Diagnosis) may be considered to identify the genetic cause of the condition while limiting identification of pathogenic variants and variants of uncertain significance in genes that do not explain the underlying phenotype. Note: (1) The genes included in the panel and the diagnostic sensitivity of the testing used for each gene vary by laboratory and are likely to change over time. (2) Some multigene panels may include genes not associated with the condition discussed in this GeneReview. (3) In some laboratories, panel options may include a custom laboratory-designed panel and/or custom phenotype-focused exome analysis that includes genes specified by the clinician. (4) Methods used in a panel may include sequence analysis, deletion/duplication analysis, and/or other non-sequencing-based tests.
    For an introduction to multigene panels click here. More detailed information for clinicians ordering genetic tests can be found here.

Option 2

When the phenotype is indistinguishable from many other inherited disorders characterized by short stature, comprehensive genomic testing does not require the clinician to determine which gene is likely involved. Exome sequencing is most commonly used; genome sequencing is also possible.

Data derived from the subscription-based professional view of Human Gene Mutation Database [Stenson et al 2020]

5.

Gene-targeted deletion/duplication analysis detects intragenic deletions or duplications. Methods used may include a range of techniques such as quantitative PCR, long-range PCR, multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA), and a gene-targeted microarray designed to detect single-exon deletions or duplications.

6.

To date, large deletions that encompass SRCAP have not been associated with SRCAP-FHS [SM Nikkel, personal observation] (see Genotype-Phenotype Correlations).

Epigenetic signature analysis / methylation array. A distinctive epigenetic signature (disorder-specific genome-wide changes in DNA methylation profiles) in peripheral blood leukocytes has been identified in individuals with SRCAP-FHS [Aref-Eshghi et al 2019, Aref-Eshghi et al 2020, Levy et al 2021]. Epigenetic signature analysis of a peripheral blood sample or DNA banked from a blood sample can therefore be considered to clarify the diagnosis in individuals with: (1) suggestive findings of SRCAP-FHS but in whom no pathogenic variant in SRCAP has been identified via sequence analysis or genomic testing; or (2) suggestive findings of SRCAP-FHS and a SRCAP variant of uncertain clinical significance identified by molecular genetic testing.

Clinical Characteristics

Clinical Description

SRCAP-related Floating-Harbor syndrome (SRCAP-FHS) is characterized by typical craniofacial features; growth deficiency (low birth weight, normal head circumference, and proportionate short stature); bone age delay that normalizes between ages six and 12 years; skeletal anomalies (brachydactyly, broad fingertips, clinodactyly, short thumbs, prominent joints, and clavicular abnormalities); severe receptive and expressive language impairment; hypernasality and high-pitched voice; and intellectual disability that is typically mild to moderate. Difficulties with temperament and behavior, present in many children, tend to improve in adulthood. To date, more than 100 individuals have been identified with SRCAP-FHS [Hood et al 2012, Le Goff et al 2013, Nikkel et al 2013, Dong et al 2014, Kehrer et al 2014, Nagasaki et a 2014, Seifert et al 2014, Amita et al 2016, Coughlin et al 2017, Singh et al 2017, Budisteanu et al 2018, Choi et al 2018, Milani et al 2018, Homma et al 2019, Li et al 2019, Shields et al 2019, Zhang et al 2019, Ko et al 2020, Singana et al 2020, Bo et al 2021, Ercoskun & Yuce-Kahraman 2021, Turkunova et al 2022, Yang et al 2023, Alanis et al 2024, Çetinkaya et al 2024, Dobrzynski et al 2024, Jeon et al 2024, Saeed & Alsayer 2024, He et al 2025]. The following description of the phenotypic features associated with this condition is based on these reports.

Temperament & behavior differences70%-90%Improves in adulthood

Craniofacial features. SRCAP-FHS is frequently recognized in early childhood because of the characteristic facial features including triangular face, deep-set eyes, short philtrum, wide mouth with thin vermilion of the upper lip, long nose with narrow bridge, broad base, broad tip, and low-hanging columella, and low-set ears (see Figure 1). The craniofacial features become more pronounced with age, especially the length of the nose and the width of the nasal tip.

Growth. The majority of individuals with SRCAP-FHS have low birth weight (range: 0-3 standard deviations [SD] below the mean for age and sex) and normal head circumference (range: 0-2 SD below the mean). In the first years of life, weight gain and linear growth are poor. Short stature is a cardinal sign of SRCAP-FHS. A significant delay in bone age is reported (≥2 SD below the mean), with normalization between ages six and 12 years. Average adult height is 140-155 cm.

Intellect. Although gross motor and fine motor milestones are within normal limits, affected individuals typically have mild-to-moderate intellectual disability. A disorder of speech and language is the most severe disability. Most aspects of communication are affected; expressive language is most consistently and severely affected. Dysarthria and verbal dyspraxia with phoneme imprecision are most common, with absent speech in some individuals. Voice is described as hypernasal and high-pitched. The majority of affected children receive mainstream education with individualized educational plans. Regression of skills is not typical in individuals with SRCAP-FHS.

Behavior. Many individuals with SRCAP-FHS have temperament and behavior differences and difficulties: temper tantrums in infancy and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder spectrum with impulsivity, inattention, and restlessness at school age. Aggressive and violent outbursts can occur. Obsessive-compulsive disorder and anxiety have been observed. Behavior problems are reported to improve in adulthood.

Puberty. Early puberty has been reported; data are insufficient to determine the incidence in either sex.

Eyes. Five of the described 105 individuals have been reported with hyperopia and eight of 13 with strabismus. Two individuals had anterior chamber abnormalities [Alanis et al 2024].

Hearing. Conductive hearing loss has been seen in 11 of the reported individuals with SRCAP-FHS. Cochlear abnormality has been observed in one individual.

Neurologic. Seizures have been observed in seven of the reported individuals.

Gastrointestinal. Reflux can be severe, requiring gastrostomy tube feeding in some. Constipation and colonic strictures have been observed. One individual had celiac disease; two had transient gluten intolerance.

Renal and genitourinary anomalies can occur and include hypospadias and undescended testes, epididymal cysts, varicocele, and posterior urethral valves in boys. Hydronephrosis / renal pelviectasis and nephrocalcinosis, renal cysts, and renal agenesis have been observed. One adult developed polycystic kidney disease and end-stage kidney disease.

Orthopedic. The body habitus is often stocky with a broad chest and short neck. Additional features include hand/digit anomalies such as clinodactyly, brachydactyly, short thumbs, and broad fingertips that give the appearance of clubbing (see Figure 2). Clavicular anomalies including pseudarthrosis and clavicular hypoplasia have been observed, as have short metacarpals, 11 pairs of ribs, kyphoscoliosis, prominent joints, dysplastic hips, and dislocated radial heads. Perthes disease has also been reported.

Dental. A number of individuals with SRCAP-FHS have dental problems (e.g., increased caries, microdontia, oligodontia, delayed loss of primary teeth) and orthodontic problems (e.g., maxillary retrusion and underbite).

Cardiac. Cardiac malformations are not usually a feature of SRCAP-FHS. Of the reported affected individuals, one had mild aortic coarctation, one had mesocardia with persistent left superior vena cava, two had atrial septal defect, and one had tetralogy of Fallot.

Genotype-Phenotype Correlations

Pathogenic variants in exons 33 and 34 of SRCAP that are predicted to cause truncation of the protein (removing three C-terminal AT-hook DNA-binding motifs while leaving the CBP-binding and ATPase domains intact) result in SRCAP-FHS.

Differential Diagnosis

The distinctive facial features, bone age delay, and characteristic speech disability that make the diagnosis of SRCAP-related Floating-Harbor syndrome (SRCAP-FHS) straightforward in early childhood become less distinct with age. Table 3 lists genes and associated conditions that should be considered in children in whom the diagnosis of SRCAP-FHS is suspected.

Developmental Delay / Intellectual Disability Management Issues

The following information represents typical management recommendations for individuals with developmental delay / intellectual disability in the United States; standard recommendations may vary from country to country.

Ages 0-3 years. Referral to an early intervention program is recommended for access to occupational, physical, speech, and feeding therapy as well as infant mental health services, special educators, and sensory impairment specialists. In the US, early intervention is a federally funded program available in all states that provides in-home services to target individual therapy needs.

Ages 3-5 years. In the US, developmental preschool through the local public school district is recommended. Before placement, an evaluation is made to determine needed services and therapies and an individualized education plan (IEP) is developed for those who qualify based on established motor, language, social, or cognitive delay. The early intervention program typically assists with this transition. Developmental preschool is center based; for children too medically unstable to attend, home-based services are provided.

All ages. Consultation with a developmental pediatrician is recommended to ensure the involvement of appropriate community, state, and educational agencies (US) and to support parents in maximizing quality of life. Some issues to consider:

  • IEP services:
    • An IEP provides specially designed instruction and related services to children who qualify.
    • IEP services will be reviewed annually to determine whether any changes are needed.
    • Special education law requires that children participating in an IEP be in the least restrictive environment feasible at school and included in general education as much as possible, when and where appropriate.
    • Vision and hearing consultants should be a part of the child's IEP team to support access to academic material.
    • PT, OT, and speech services will be provided in the IEP to the extent that the need affects the child's access to academic material. Beyond that, private supportive therapies based on the affected individual's needs may be considered. Specific recommendations regarding type of therapy can be made by a developmental pediatrician.
    • As a child enters the teen years, a transition plan should be discussed and incorporated in the IEP. For those receiving IEP services, the public school district is required to provide services until age 21.
  • A 504 plan (Section 504: a US federal statute that prohibits discrimination based on disability) can be considered for those who require accommodations or modifications such as front-of-class seating, assistive technology devices, classroom scribes, extra time between classes, modified assignments, and enlarged text.
  • Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA) enrollment is recommended. DDA is a US public agency that provides services and support to qualified individuals. Eligibility differs by state but is typically determined by diagnosis and/or associated cognitive/adaptive disabilities.
  • Families with limited income and resources may also qualify for supplemental security income (SSI) for their child with a disability.

Oral motor dysfunction should be assessed at each visit and clinical feeding evaluations and/or radiographic swallowing studies should be obtained for choking/gagging during feeds, poor weight gain, frequent respiratory illnesses, or feeding refusal that is not otherwise explained. Assuming that the child is safe to eat by mouth, feeding therapy (typically from an occupational or speech therapist) is recommended to help improve coordination or sensory-related feeding issues. Feeds can be thickened or chilled for safety. When feeding dysfunction is severe, an NG-tube or G-tube may be necessary.

Communication issues. Consider evaluation for alternative means of communication (e.g., augmentative and alternative communication [AAC]) for individuals who have expressive language difficulties. An AAC evaluation can be completed by a speech-language pathologist who has expertise in the area. The evaluation will consider cognitive abilities and sensory impairments to determine the most appropriate form of communication. AAC devices can range from low-tech, such as picture exchange communication, to high-tech, such as voice-generating devices. Contrary to popular belief, AAC devices do not hinder verbal development of speech, but rather support optimal speech and language development.

Neurobehavioral/Psychiatric Concerns

Children may qualify for and benefit from interventions used in treatment of autism spectrum disorder, including applied behavior analysis (ABA). ABA therapy is targeted to the individual child's behavioral, social, and adaptive strengths and weaknesses and typically performed one on one with a board-certified behavior analyst.

Consultation with a developmental pediatrician may be helpful in guiding parents through appropriate behavior management strategies or providing prescription medications, such as medication used to treat attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, when necessary.

Concerns about serious aggressive or destructive behavior can be addressed by a pediatric psychiatrist.

Surveillance

To monitor existing manifestations, the individual's response to supportive care, and the emergence of new manifestations, the evaluations summarized in Table 6 are recommended.

No specific pregnancy complications for the mother or the fetus have been observed in the two women with SRCAP pathogenic variants who had children with SRCAP-FHS.

Therapies Under Investigation

Search ClinicalTrials.gov in the US and EU Clinical Trials Register in Europe for information on clinical studies for a wide range of diseases and conditions. Note: There may not be clinical trials for this disorder.

Genetic Counseling

Genetic counseling is the process of providing individuals and families with information on the nature, mode(s) of inheritance, and implications of genetic disorders to help them make informed medical and personal decisions. The following section deals with genetic risk assessment and the use of family history and genetic testing to clarify genetic status for family members; it is not meant to address all personal, cultural, or ethical issues that may arise or to substitute for consultation with a genetics professional. —ED.

Mode of Inheritance

SRCAP-related Floating-Harbor syndrome (SRCAP-FHS) is an autosomal dominant disorder typically caused by a de novo pathogenic variant.

Risk to Family Members

Parents of a proband

  • Most individuals with SRCAP-FHS have the disorder as the result of a de novo SRCAP pathogenic variant and represent simplex cases (i.e., a single occurrence in the family).
  • Transmission of an SRCAP pathogenic variant from an affected mother to her child has been reported in two families to date [Nikkel et al 2013].
  • Molecular genetic testing and clinical evaluation for signs of SRCAP-FHS are recommended for the parents of a proband with an apparent de novo pathogenic variant.
  • If the proband appears to be the only affected family member, molecular genetic testing is recommended for the parents of the proband to evaluate their genetic status and inform recurrence risk assessment. Note: A proband may appear to be the only affected family member because of failure to recognize the disorder in a family member with a milder phenotype. Therefore, de novo occurrence of a SRCAP pathogenic variant in the proband cannot be confirmed unless molecular genetic testing has demonstrated that neither parent has the SRCAP pathogenic variant.
  • If the pathogenic variant identified in the proband is not identified in either parent and parental identity testing has confirmed biological maternity and paternity, the following possibilities should be considered:
  • An advanced paternal age effect is suggested. In their series of 13 individuals with a heterozygous SRCAP pathogenic variant, Hood et al [2012] reported a mean paternal age of 36.9 years (range: 29-44 years).

Sibs of a proband. The risk to the sibs of the proband depends on the clinical/genetic status of the proband's parents:

Offspring of a proband. Each child of an individual with SRCAP-FHS has a 50% chance of inheriting the SRCAP pathogenic variant.

Other family members. The risk to other family members depends on the status of the proband's parents: if a parent has the SRCAP pathogenic variant, the parent's family members may be at risk.

Related Genetic Counseling Issues

Family planning

  • The optimal time for determination of genetic risk and discussion of the availability of prenatal/preimplantation genetic testing is before pregnancy.
  • It is appropriate to offer genetic counseling (including discussion of potential risks to offspring and reproductive options) to the parents of an affected child and to young adults who are affected.

Prenatal Testing and Preimplantation Genetic Testing

Once the SRCAP pathogenic variant has been identified in an affected family member, prenatal and preimplantation genetic testing are possible.

Differences in perspective may exist among medical professionals and within families regarding the use of prenatal and preimplantation genetic testing. While most health care professionals would consider use of prenatal and preimplantation genetic testing to be a personal decision, discussion of these issues may be helpful.

Molecular Pathogenesis

SRCAP encodes helicase SRCAP, a nuclear protein that mediates different intracellular signaling pathways as well as chromatin remodeling. The encoded protein is an ATPase that is necessary for the incorporation of a histone variant into nucleosomes.

SRCAP functions as a transcriptional activator for CREB- and CBP-mediated transcription, along with Notch-mediated and steroid receptor-mediated transcription [Hood et al 2016]. Alteration in SRCAP has the potential for producing widespread target-gene dysregulation.

Mechanism of disease causation. Unknown. However, the non-random clustering of pathogenic variants (see Genotype-Phenotype Correlations) that predict truncated SRCAP strongly suggests a dominant-negative disease mechanism due to loss of one or more critical domain(s) – for instance, the three C-terminal AT-hook DNA-binding motifs (see Hood et al [2016] for details of SRCAP domains).
