This review discusses the MYCN’s functional implications for human development by reviewing the clinical characteristics of these distinct syndromes, Feingold syndrome, and megalencephaly-polydactyly syndrome, providing valuable insights into the understanding of pathophysiological backgrounds of other syndromes associated with the MYCN pathway and the overall comprehension of MYCN’s role in human development. Here, MYCN is linked to megalencephaly-polydactyly syndrome.
