CCDC22基因变异导致Ritscher-Schinzel综合征1例

Ritscher-Schinzel syndrome caused by CCDC22 gene mutation: a case report

摘要:

患儿，男，1月龄，因喂养困难、肌张力低下就诊，体检发现前额突出，眼距宽，外眦下斜，上唇薄，耳位低，肌张力低下。新生儿神经行为测定示29分，心脏B超示房间隔缺损，头颅MRI示幕上脑室、脑池、蛛网膜下腔增宽。患儿全外显子组测序检测出CCDC22基因c.315_320delTGAGCG半合子变异，变异来自母亲，父亲未发现该基因变异。该患儿的特殊面容、临床表现及遗传方式与国外报道Ritscher-Schinzel综合征表现相一致。该研究首次报道了1例中国人CCDC22基因c.315_320delTGAGCG半合子变异导致X连锁隐性遗传的Ritscher-Schinzel综合征。

Abstract:

A boy, aged 1 month, attended the hospital due to feeding difficulty and hypotonia. He had unusual facial features (prominent forehead, hypertelorism, ptosis of the lateral canthus, thin upper lip, and low-set ears), hypotonia, and a decreased score of neonatal behavioral neurological assessment. Heart ultrasound showed atrial septal defect. Cranial MRI showed widened supratentorial ventricle, cerebral cistern, and subarachnoid space. High-throughput whole-exome sequencing of the boy detected a hemizygous mutation, c.315_320delTGAGCG, in the CCDC22 gene, which came from his mother, while such mutation was not found in his father. The unusual facies, clinical manifestations, and inheritance pattern of this boy were consistent with the manifestations of Ritscher-Schinzel syndrome reported abroad. This is a report for the first time of a case of X-linked recessive Ritscher-Schinzel syndrome caused by the hemizygous mutation c.315_320delTGAGCG in the CCDC22 gene in Chinese population.
