<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:sec><jats:title>Background</jats:title><jats:p><jats:italic>TOP2B</jats:italic> encodes type II topoisomerase beta, which controls topological changes during DNA transcription. <jats:italic>TOP2B</jats:italic> is expressed in the developing nervous system and is involved in brain development and neural differentiation. Recently, a de novo missense <jats:italic>TOP2B</jats:italic> variant (c.187C>T) has been identified in an individual with neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD). However, the association between <jats:italic>TOP2B</jats:italic> variants and NDDs remains uncertain.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods</jats:title><jats:p>Trio‐based whole‐exome sequencing was performed on a 7‐year‐old girl, presenting muscle hypotonia, stereotypic hand movements, epilepsy, global developmental delay, and autism spectrum disorder. Brain magnetic resonance images were normal. She was unable to walk independently and spoke no meaningful words.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results</jats:title><jats:p>We found a de novo variant in <jats:italic>TOP2B</jats:italic> (NM_001330700.1:c.187C>T, p.(His63Tyr)), which is identical to the previous case. The clinical features of the two individuals with the c.187C>T variant overlapped.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion</jats:title><jats:p>Our study supports the finding that <jats:italic>TOP2B</jats:italic> variants may cause NDDs.</jats:p></jats:sec>
