Aplasia cutis congenita (ACC), also called congenital cutaneous hypoplasia, is a serious disease in newborns. Children with ACC often die due to wound infections and bleeding. How the incidence of ACC can be reduced is a question that needs to be solved urgently.
We reported a mother who had delivered two children with ACC, both of whom were diagnosed with ACC type VI, skin defects, limb deformities, and congenital heart malformations. One infant died a few days after birth, and another died in the second trimester. Genetic testing in both children showed a heterozygous mutation in the gene [17q25 exon 8, c. 794 dupC, (. Ala266fs) and exon 15, c. 1860G > A]. The mother later successfully gave birth to a healthy baby using Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Monogenic disorders(PGD-M).
The PGD-M technique is highly valuable in reducing the incidence of ACC and improving the prognoses of newborns.
先天性皮肤发育不全(ACC),也称为先天性皮肤发育不良,是新生儿中的一种严重疾病。患有ACC的儿童常因伤口感染和出血而死亡。如何降低ACC的发病率是一个亟待解决的问题。
我们报告了一位母亲,她生下了两个患有ACC的孩子,这两个孩子均被诊断为VI型ACC,伴有皮肤缺损、肢体畸形和先天性心脏畸形。一名婴儿出生几天后死亡,另一名在孕中期死亡。对两个孩子的基因检测显示该基因存在杂合突变[17q25外显子8,c. 794 dupC,(. Ala266fs)和外显子15,c. 1860G > A]。这位母亲后来通过单基因疾病胚胎植入前基因检测(PGD-M)成功生下了一个健康的婴儿。
PGD-M技术在降低ACC的发病率和改善新生儿预后方面具有很高的价值。
