The term baby presented with respiratory distress with X-ray pictures consistent as hyaline membrane disease (HMD). Baby was ventilated and treated with surfactant. Because of the persistence of high ventilation needs with X-ray pictures consistent with HMD with a transient response to surfactant every time, the possibility of an inherited disorder of surfactant metabolism was kept. Whole-exome sequencing revealed a novel homozygous missense mutation in the gene for ATP binding cassette transporter protein A3. The baby died after 100 days of ventilation.
患儿以呼吸窘迫为表现,X 射线照片符合肺透明膜病(HMD)。患儿行呼吸机通气及肺表面活性物质治疗。因呼吸机通气需求持续较高,X 射线照片符合 HMD,且每次肺表面活性物质治疗均有短暂反应,故考虑肺表面活性物质代谢遗传性疾病的可能性。全外显子测序显示 ABCA3 基因存在新型纯合错义突变。患儿经呼吸机通气 100 天后死亡。
