Koolen-de Vries syndrome is a rare genetic disorder marked by developmental and speech delays, intellectual disability, hypotonia, seizures, multiple congenital anomalies, and dysmorphic facial features. This syndrome is caused by microdeletions or loss-of-function mutations in the KANSL1 gene. KANSL1 encodes a nuclear protein that, via histone modification, regulates global transcription.
The patient was referred to our clinic due to a combination of intellectual disability, developmental delay, epilepsy, and dysmorphic facial features. A de novo missense heterozygous mutation c 0.1774 C > T (p.Arg592Trp) in the KANSL1 gene was discovered using trio whole exome sequencing.
This is the first case report of Koolen-de Vries syndrome in Turkey, to the best of our knowledge.
科伦-德弗里斯综合征是一种罕见的遗传性疾病,其特征为发育迟缓、言语迟缓、智力障碍、肌张力减退、癫痫、多种先天性异常和面部畸形。该综合征由 KANSL1 基因的微缺失或功能丧失突变引起。KANSL1 编码一种核蛋白,通过组蛋白修饰调节全局转录。
该患者因智力障碍、发育迟缓、癫痫和面部畸形等多种症状被转介至我们的诊所。通过对三人体外全基因组测序发现,KANSL1 基因中存在一个杂合错义突变 c 0.1774 C > T(p.Arg592Trp)。
据我们所知,这是土耳其首例科伦-德弗里斯综合征的病例报告。
