Genotype-phenotype variations in PURA syndrome: Asian and non-Asian perspectives from a systematic review.
Synthesis in Orphanet journal of rare diseases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe focus of this study was a comparison of the phenotypical and genotypical differences in PURA syndrome among Asian and non-Asian patients. A retrospective cohort study was performed in a single medical center from January 2014 to May 2025 on patients carrying causative genes for PURA syndrome. A systematic search in PubMed, MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Embase covering the period from January 2014 to May 2025 was conducted. Individuals with PURA syndrome were collected and categorized into Asian and non-Asian groups for analysis. Clinical characteristics, imaging findings, and developmental outcomes were compared between the two groups using Chi-squared or Fisher's exact tests, with a p < 0.05 considered statistically significant.
resultsOf 200 individuals enrolled, 44 were Asian and 156 were non-Asian. 80% or more of individuals with PURA syndrome in both groups shared common clinical features of hypotonia and feeding difficulties during the neonatal period. In terms of neurologic symptoms, there were significantly higher rates of pathological startle response (p < 0.01), and lower rates of epilepsy (p < 0.01) and movement disorders (p = 0.035) among Asian populations. For extra-neurologic symptoms, Asian populations showed a higher incidence of cardiac (p = 0.013) and urogenital abnormalities (p < 0.01), with statistical significance. A single patient in the cohort study exhibited second-degree atrioventricular block, which required pacemaker placement. Highly heterogeneous variants were identified with 106 causative variants in 200 individuals, including a novel causative variant, c.42_57del (p.Leu15fs), from our cohort. All individuals with PURA syndrome displayed evident psychomotor impairment during follow-up.
conclusionsPURA syndrome exhibits high phenotypic and genotypic heterogeneity. Increased pathological startle response, reduced epilepsy and movement disorders, and higher rates of cardiac and urogenital abnormalities were observed in the Asian group. Cardiac conduction disorder may prove fatal without timely intervention.
