ABSTRACT: Background
Intellectual disability with developmental delay is the most common developmental disorder. However, this diagnosis is rarely associated with congenital cardiomyopathy. In the current report, we present the case of a patient suffering from dilated cardiomyopathy and developmental delay.Methods
Neurological pathology in a newborn was diagnosed immediately after birth, and the acquisition of psychomotor skills lagged behind by 3-4 months during the first year of life. WES analysis of the proband did not reveal a causal variant, so the search was extended to trio.Results
Trio sequencing revealed a de novo missense variant in the CAMK2D gene (p.Arg275His), that is, according to the OMIM database and available literature, not currently associated with any specific inborn disease. The expression of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II delta (CaMKIIδ) protein is known to be increased in the heart tissues from patients with dilated cardiomyopathy. The functional effect of the CaMKIIδ Arg275His mutant was recently reported; however, no specific mechanism of its pathogenicity was proposed. A structural analysis and comparison of available three-dimensional structures of CaMKIIδ confirmed the probable pathogenicity of the observed missense variant.Conclusions
We suggest that the CaMKIIδ Arg275His variant is highly likely the cause of dilated cardiomyopathy and neurodevelopmental disorders.
