Trio-WES reveals a novel de novo missense mutation of KMT2A in a Chinese patient with Wiedemann-Steiner syndrome: A case report.


ABSTRACT:

Background

Wiedemann-Steiner Syndrome (WSS) is an autosomal dominant genetic condition caused by mutations in the KMT2A gene. Lysine methyltransferase, encoded by KMT2A, plays critical roles in the regulation of gene expression during early development.

Methods

Trio-based whole exome sequencing (Trio-WES) was performed on a 15 months old Chinese girl and her two parents by MyGenostics (Beijing, China) using the Illumina HiSeq X ten system. Variants were confirmed with Sanger sequencing. She exhibited mild/moderate intellectual disability (ID), hypotonia, hypertrichosis cubiti, hypertrichosis on the back, dysmorphic facies, psychomotor retardation, growth delay, small and puffy hands, fat pads anterior to calcanei, and palmar/plantar grooves.

Results

Trio-WES revealed a novel de novo mutation of KMT2A gene (NM_001197104.1: c.3566G>T, p.Cys1189Phe). WSS was diagnosed based on WES and clinical features.

Conclusion

Our findings expand the phenotypic and mutation spectra of WSS.
