In Brief: These authors identify a frameshift truncating variant in the gene SPIN4 (Spindlin member 4) in a patient with skeletal overgrowth, hepatosplenomegaly and macrocephaly. Using state-of-the-art mouse models and histone peptide arrays, they delineate the underlying pathogenic mechanism and show that SPIN4 positively regulates Wnt signalling by functioning as an epigenetic reader.Commentary: Generalized overgrowth disorders are ch...
