[Clinical and molecular genetic analysis of Angelman syndrome with oculocutaneous albinism type 2: A case report and literature review].

To summarize the clinical diagnosis and treatment process and genetic test results and characteristics of one child with Angelman syndrome (AS) complicated with oculocutaneous albinism type 2 (OCA2), and to review the literature. "Angelman syndrome" "P gene" and "Oculocutaneous albinism type 2" were used as keywords to search at CNKI, Wanfang, and PubMed databases (from creation to December 2019). Then all the patients were analyzed. The patient in this study was a girl aged 1 year. After birth, she was found to present as white body, yellow hair, and nystagmus. She could raise her head at the age of 2 months and turn over at the age of 7 months. The head circumference was 42 cm and she could not sit alone or speak at present. Trio-based exome sequencing revealed that the patient carried a homozygous mutation of c.168del (p.Gln58ArgfsTer44) in the P gene, and her father was heterozygous and her mother was wild-type. The detection of copy number variation showed deletion on the maternal chromosome at 15q11.2-13.1 region (P gene located in this region) in the patient. Until December 2019, a total of 4 cases in the 4 literature had been reported. Adding our case here, the 5 cases were summarized and found that all the cases showed white skin, golden hair, and shallow iris after birth. Comprehensive developmental delay was found around 6 months of age after birth, and the language remained undeveloped in 2 cases till follow-up into childhood. Seizures occurred in 4 patients. Two cases had ataxia. All the 5 cases had acquired microcephaly. Two cases had a family history of albinism. Electroencephalogram monitoring was completed in 3 cases and the results were abnormal. Genetic tests showed that all the 5 cases had deletion on maternal chromosome at 15q11-13 region. Four cases carried mutation of P gene on paternal chromosome. And 1 case was clinically diagnosed as OCA2 without P gene test. AS combined with OCA2 is relatively rare. OCA2 is easily diagnosed based on the obvious clinical manifestations after birth. When combined with clinical manifestations such as neurodevelopmental delay, it might indicate the possibility of AS that is hardly diagnosed clinically at an early stage. Genetic tests can reveal the cross-genetic phenomenon of AS and OCA2 and the complex of them can be eventually diagnosed.
