As a clinical subtype of SWI/SNF‐related intellectual disability syndromes, Nicolaides–Baraitser syndrome (NCBRS, OMIM601358) has a unique genotype–phenotype. Due to the scarcity of the number of cases reported and the limitations of diagnosis methods, so far only more than 80 cases have been reported worldwide. In this article, a new patient with a de novo mutation was followed up for 10 years; it includes the epilepsy treatment process, the characteristics of NBCRS with seizures, typical faces, sparse hair, prominent interphalangeal joints, and intellectual disability, and we also summarized the genotype–phenotype of the 80 reported cases for comparison. Due to insufficient studies and lack of attention paid to the syndrome, it is believed that the actual number of cases should be far more than the reported number. The syndrome is phased and progressive. The genotype–phenotype correlation of the disease is related to the location of the gene locus, especially closely related to the SNF2 ATPase domain.
