De novo heterozygous mutations in the gene give rise to a distinct intellectual disability syndrome, with features including speech delay, cardiac anomalies, craniofacial dysmorphisms, and craniosynostosis. Here, we reported a 16-year-old girl with a novel pathogenic variant of the gene. She is the first case to possess pancraniosynostosis, a rare suture fusion pattern, affecting all her major cranial sutures. The diagnosis of KAT6A syndrome is established via recognition of its inherent phenotypic features and the utilization of whole exome sequencing. Thorough craniofacial evaluation is imperative, craniosynostosis may require operative intervention, the delay of which may be detrimental.
该基因的新生杂合突变会引发一种独特的智力障碍综合征,其特征包括语言发育迟缓、心脏异常、颅面畸形和颅缝早闭。在此,我们报告了一名患有该基因新型致病变异的16岁女孩。她是首例患有全颅缝早闭的病例,这是一种罕见的缝线融合模式,影响了她所有主要的颅缝。KAT6A综合征的诊断通过识别其固有的表型特征并利用全外显子测序来确立。全面的颅面评估至关重要,颅缝早闭可能需要手术干预,延误可能有害。
