A 4-year-old boy presented with loss of motor milestones following viral fever. On examination, the child had increased tone and exaggerated deep tendon reflexes. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed white matter hyperintensities on T2-weighted images, which revealed partial inversion on fluid-attenuated inversion recovery images. Clinical exome sequencing revealed a novel homozygous mutation c.1270T>G: pCys424Gly in exon 11 of the EIF2B3 gene. This novel mutation is reported in this article along with a literature review.
一名4岁男孩在病毒性发热后出现运动发育里程碑倒退。检查发现,该患儿肌张力增高,深腱反射亢进。脑部磁共振成像显示T2加权像上白质高信号,在液体衰减反转恢复序列图像上呈部分反转。临床外显子组测序显示EIF2B3基因第11外显子有一个新的纯合突变c.1270T>G:pCys424Gly。本文报告了这一新突变并进行了文献综述。
