ABSTRACT: Background
Opitz GBBB syndrome (GBBB) is an X-linked disease characterized by midline defects, including congenital heart defects. We present our diagnostic approach to the identification of GBBB in a consanguineous family in which two males siblings were concordant for a total anomalous connection of pulmonary veins and minor facial dysmorphias.Methods
Targeted exome sequencing analysis of a 380-gene panel associated with cardiovascular disease was performed on the propositus. Interpretative analysis of the exome results was conducted, and 3D models of the protein changes were generated.Results
We identified a NM_000381.4:c.608G>A;p.(Arg203Gln) change in MID1, affecting the conformation of the B-box 2 domain of the protein, with a zinc finger structure and associated protein interactions. This clinical phenotype is consistent with GBBB; however, the type of congenital heart disease observed in this case has not been previously reported.Conclusion
A new likely pathogenic variant on MID1 c.608G>A was found to be associated with Opitz GBBB syndrome.
