Weill-Marchesani syndrome (WMS) is a rare connective tissue disorder characterized by severe short stature, small hands and feet, joint stiffness, eye abnormalities such as microspherophakia, ectopia of lenses, severe myopia, glaucoma, and heart defects. This case study describes a nine-year-old female child with WMS syndrome type 2 and heterozygous pathogenic variant p.Gly1754Ser in the fibrillin-1 gene, identified on whole exome sequencing. Two individuals with WMS with the p.Gly1754Ser variant have been previously reported in the medical literature. The present case is the fourteenth case of WMS type 2 with fibrillin-1 gene mutation in the medical literature, to the best of the author's knowledge.
魏尔-马歇桑尼综合征(WMS)是一种罕见的结缔组织疾病,其特征为严重身材矮小、手脚短小、关节僵硬、眼部异常,如小球形晶状体、晶状体异位、高度近视、青光眼以及心脏缺陷。本病例研究描述了一名9岁女性儿童,患有2型WMS综合征,在全外显子组测序中发现其原纤维蛋白-1基因存在杂合致病性变异p.Gly1754Ser。医学文献中此前已报道过两名携带p.Gly1754Ser变异的WMS患者。据作者所知,本病例是医学文献中第14例2型WMS伴原纤维蛋白-1基因突变的病例。
