Cabezas syndrome is a syndromic form of X-linked intellectual disability primarily characterized by a short stature, hypogonadism and abnormal gait, with other variable features resulting from mutations in the gene. Here, we report a clinically undiagnosed 5-year-old male with severe intellectual disability. A genome-first approach using targeted exome sequencing identified a novel nonsense mutation [NM_003588.3:c.2698G>T, p.(Glu900*)] in the last coding exon of , thus diagnosing this patient with Cabezas syndrome.
卡贝萨斯综合征是一种X连锁智力障碍的综合征形式,主要特征为身材矮小、性腺功能减退和步态异常,该基因的突变还会导致其他可变特征。在此,我们报告一名临床未确诊的5岁男性重度智力障碍患者。采用靶向外显子组测序的基因组优先方法,在该基因的最后一个编码外显子中鉴定出一个新的无义突变[NM_003588.3:c.2698G>T, p.(Glu900*)],从而诊断该患者患有卡贝萨斯综合征。
