Ayme Gripp syndrome (OMIM#601088) is a multisystem disorder caused by heterozygous variation in the MAF (OMIM*177075). The typical phenotype comprises a tetralogy of congenital cataract, sensory neural hearing loss, a characteristic facial appearance along with neurodevelopment abnormalities. Exact prevalence estimates are unknown. Only 21 individuals representing 19 families have been reported in the literature till date. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first detailed case report of a boy with Ayme Gripp syndrome from our country. Although he had multiple typical features of the syndrome along with a known pathogenic variation in the MAF, cataract was not observed in him at the age of seven years.
艾美·格里普综合征(OMIM#601088)是一种多系统疾病,由 MAF(OMIM*177075)的杂合变异引起。典型表型包括先天性白内障四联征、感觉神经性听力损失、特征性面部外观以及神经发育异常。确切的患病率尚不清楚。迄今为止,文献中仅报道了 21 名代表 19 个家族的个体。据我们所知,这是来自我国的首例患有艾美·格里普综合征的男孩的详细病例报告。尽管他具有该综合征的多种典型特征,并且在 MAF 中存在已知的致病性变异,但他在 7 岁时并未观察到白内障。
