We describe two brothers from a consanguineous family of Egyptian ancestry, presenting with microcephaly, apparent global developmental delay, seizures, spasticity, congenital blindness, and multiple cutaneous capillary malformations. Through exome sequencing, we uncovered a homozygous missense variant in STAMBP (p.K303R) in the two siblings, inherited from heterozygous carrier parents. Mutations in STAMBP are known to cause microcephaly-capillary malformation syndrome (MIC-CAP) and the phenotype in this family is consistent with this diagnosis. We compared the findings in the present brothers with those of earlier reported patients. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
我们描述了来自一个有埃及血统的近亲家庭的两兄弟,他们患有小头畸形、明显的全面发育迟缓、癫痫、痉挛、先天性失明和多处皮肤毛细血管畸形。通过外显子组测序,我们在这两个兄弟中发现了STAMBP基因的一个纯合错义变异(p.K303R),该变异遗传自杂合子携带者父母。已知STAMBP基因突变会导致小头畸形 - 毛细血管畸形综合征(MIC - CAP),并且这个家族中的表型与该诊断一致。我们将这两位兄弟的发现与早期报道的患者进行了比较。© 2016威利期刊公司
