Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the clinical features and SLC35A2 variant of a case of congenital disorder of glycosylation type IIm (CDG-IIm), and to identify the possible causes of the disease.
METHODS:Trio-whole exome sequencing (WES) was used to analyze the gene variant of the children and their parents. The suspicious gene variants were screened for Sanger verification and the bioinformatics prediction was used to analyze the hazard of variant.
RESULTS:The clinical manifestations of the child were epilepsy, global growth retardation, nystagmus, myocarditis and other symptoms. MRI showed brain dysplasia such as wide frontal temporal sulcus and subarachnoid space on both sides. Echocardiography showed left ventricular wall thickening and patent foramen ovale. According to the results of gene detection, there was a heterozygous missense variant c.335C>A (p.Thr112Lys) in SLC35A2 gene. The parents were wild-type at this locus, which was a de novo variant. At the same time, there was no report of this variant in the relevant literature, which was a novel variant in SLC35A2 gene. According to the genetic variant guidelines of American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics, SLC35A2 gene c.335C>A (p.Thr112Lys) variant was predicted to be likely pathogenic (PS2+PM2+PP3).
CONCLUSION:The variant of SLC35A2 gene c.335C>A(p.Thr112Lys) may be the cause of the disease in the child.
