Following termination of pregnancy due to multiple brain malformations, a non-consanguineous couple of Jewish descent sought genetic counseling. Brain malformations identified on neurosonogram included corpus callosum dysgenesis, abnormal brain stem morphology, abnormal cortical sulcation and hypertelorism. Trio exome sequencing revealed a heterozygous de novo likely pathogenic variant in KIDINS220 gene. Heterozygous variants in KIDINS220 have been linked to spastic paraplegia, intellectual disability, nystagmus, and obesity syndrome (SINO). Reports on prenatal findings are limited and primarily consist of cases of ventriculomegaly. We describe a more severe clinical presentation in a case with a heterozygous variant.
由于多发脑畸形而终止妊娠后,一对非近亲的犹太裔夫妇寻求遗传咨询。神经超声检查发现的脑畸形包括胼胝体发育不良、脑干形态异常、皮质沟回异常和内斜视。三核苷酸外显子组测序显示 KIDINS220 基因存在杂合新生致病性可能变异。KIDINS220 的杂合变异与痉挛性截瘫、智力残疾、眼球震颤和肥胖综合征(SINO)有关。关于产前发现的报道有限,主要包括脑室扩大的病例。我们描述了一例杂合变异病例的更严重临床表现。
