We present a patient with a complex phenotype including diagnoses of Ebstein's anomaly and Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) as well as additional congenital anomalies and genetic variants with potential clinical effects. This is the first reported case of both diagnoses present in the same patient. The diagnosis of Ebstein's anomaly was made on prenatal ultrasound. She presented with neonatal hypotonia, feeding problems, and dysmorphic features, followed by later onset weight gain, leading to a diagnosis of PWS. Further evaluations revealed Blaschkoid hyperpigmentation, laryngeal cleft, and pigmentary retinopathy. Whole exome sequencing determined a likely pathogenic variant in alkaline phosphatase gene and several mitochondrial DNA variants. We discuss the known genetic mechanisms of PWS and compare them to the heterogenous genetic associations of Ebstein's anomaly. The standard of care treatment for PWS is growth hormone therapy, which is associated with right-sided heart failure risks. This case illustrates the need to complete the diagnostic work up in all patients, as well as the necessity of a multidisciplinary approach for optimal outcomes.
我们报告了一名具有复杂表型的患者,其诊断包括埃布斯坦畸形和普拉德-威利综合征(PWS),以及其他先天性异常和具有潜在临床影响的基因变异。这是首例在同一患者中同时出现这两种诊断的病例。埃布斯坦畸形的诊断是通过产前超声做出的。她表现为新生儿肌张力低下、喂养问题和畸形特征,随后出现体重增加,最终诊断为PWS。进一步评估发现了布拉斯科线样色素沉着、喉裂和色素性视网膜病变。全外显子测序确定了碱性磷酸酶基因中一个可能的致病变异以及几个线粒体DNA变异。我们讨论了PWS已知的遗传机制,并将其与埃布斯坦畸形的异质性遗传关联进行了比较。PWS的标准治疗方法是生长激素治疗,这与右侧心力衰竭风险相关。该病例说明了对所有患者完成诊断检查的必要性,以及采用多学科方法以获得最佳结果的必要性。
