Abstract: Objective:To explore the genetic basis for a patient with unexplained developmental delay and special facial features.Methods:A male patient admitted to the Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital of Gansu Province on May 27, 2021 due to infertility was selected as the study subject. Clinical data of the patient was collected, and genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples from the patient and his parents. Whole exome sequencing (WES) was carried out, and candidate variant was verified by Sanger sequencing.Results:The patient was found to harbor a 2.54 Mb deletion in 1p36.33p36.32 and a heterozygous c. 1123G>C (p.E375Q) variant of the CHD3 gene, neither of which was detected in his parents. Conclusion:The patient was diagnosed with Snijders Blok-Campeau syndrome in conjunct with 1p36 deletion syndrome, which has enabled genetic counseling for his family.
