Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To analyze the clinical features and genetic variants in two unrelated patients with psychomotor retardation and facial abnormalities, and to explore their genotype-phenotype correlation.
METHODS:Clinical data and family history of the two pedigrees were collected. Whole exome sequencing (WES) and Sanger sequencing were carried out to detect the potential variants.
RESULTS:Both patients had presented with mental and language retardation, along with growth delay and facial anomalies. They were both found to harbor de novo loss-of-function variants in exon 12 of the ASXL3 gene, namely c.3096dup (p.Pro1033Thrfs*2) and c.3253G>T (p.Gly1085*). Neither variant was reported previously. Combined with their clinical features and genetic finding, both patients were diagnosed with Bainbridge-Ropes syndrome due to pathogenic variants of the ASXL3 gene.
CONCLUSION:Diagnosis of Bainbridge Ropes syndrome in the two pedigrees has enriched the genotypic and phenotypic spectrum of this disorder and enabled genetic counseling for them.
