We report a boy with severe developmental delay, microcephaly and characteristic facial dysmorphism consisting in round face, hypertelorism, upslanted palpebral fissures, small nose, large mouth, micrognathia, sparse hair and eyelashes. Array-CGH revealed a de novo duplication of 103 kb within 17q21.2 not reported to date. The duplication includes 8 genes: DHX58, KAT2A, HSPB9, RAB5C, KCNH4, HCRT, GHDC and STAT5B. Three genes (KATA2, KCNH4, and STAT5B) may contribute to intellectual deficiency. Further observations will be necessary to confirm the specificity of the facial Gestalt.
我们报告了一名患有严重发育迟缓、小头畸形以及具有特征性面部畸形的男孩,其面部畸形表现为圆脸、眼距增宽、睑裂上斜、小鼻子、大嘴、小颌、头发和睫毛稀疏。染色体微阵列比较基因组杂交(Array-CGH)显示在17q21.2区域存在一个103 kb的新发重复,迄今为止尚未见报道。该重复包含8个基因:DHX58、KAT2A、HSPB9、RAB5C、KCNH4、HCRT、GHDC和STAT5B。三个基因(KATA2、KCNH4和STAT5B)可能导致智力缺陷。需要进一步观察以确认面部整体形态的特异性。
