Uniparental isodisomy (UPiD) can cause mixed phenotypes of imprinting disorders and autosomal-recessive diseases. We present the case of a 3-year-old male with a blended phenotype of TECPR2-related hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy (HSAN9) and Temple syndrome (TS14) due to maternal UPiD of chromosome 14, which includes a loss-of-function founder variant in the TECPR2 gene [NM_014844.5: c.1319del, p.Leu440Argfs*19]. This case illustrates challenges associated with a mixed phenotype of ultra-rare disorders and underscores the importance of investigating recessive conditions in homozygosity regions when atypical clinical features occur in patients with well-characterized imprinting disorders.
单亲二体性(UPiD)可导致印记障碍和常染色体隐性疾病的混合表型。我们报告了一例3岁男性病例,因14号染色体的母源性UPiD,出现了与TECPR2相关的遗传性感觉和自主神经病变(HSAN9)和坦普尔综合征(TS14)的混合表型,其中包括TECPR2基因[NM_014844.5: c.1319del, p.Leu440Argfs*19]的功能丧失性始祖变异。该病例说明了与超罕见疾病混合表型相关的挑战,并强调了在具有明确印记障碍的患者出现非典型临床特征时,对纯合子区域的隐性疾病进行调查的重要性。
