Abstract
Введение. Синдром Барайтсера-Винтера (BWCFF) - очень редкое аутосомно-доминантное наследственное заболевание, обусловленное мутациями в генах ACTB и ACTG1. Практически все известные случаи этого заболевания обусловлены миссенс-мутациями в генах ACTB и ACTG1, возникшими de novo. В этой работе представлен новый случай синдрома BWCFF, обусловленный мутацией p.Ile136Val в гене ACTB. Пациенты и методы. Пробанд - мальчик 6 лет 8 месяцев, из двойни. Фенотип пациента анализировали с использованием приложения Face2Gene. Пробанду и всем членам его семьи проведено секвенирование 1-4 экзонов и прилежащих интронных последовательностей гена ACTB. Результаты. У пробанда отмечены характерные симптомы BWCFF: постнатальная пограничная микроцефалия, специфические дизморфии, колобомы радужной оболочки обоих глаз, короткая шея с крыловидными складками, эпилепсия, врожденный порок сердца. В отличие от большинства случаев синдрома у пациента отсутствовали задержка интеллектуального развития, а также грубые изменения коры или других структур головного мозга. В результате секвенирования экзонов гена АСТВ у пациента была выявлена замена с.406A>G (p.Ile136Val, rs1554329352) в гетерозиготном состоянии. У родителей пробанда и здоровых сибсов мутация не была обнаружена. Заключение. Использование современных технологий фенотипирования позволило предположить клинический диагноз, провести эффективный целенаправленный поиск мутаций в гене ACTB и диагностировать новый случай синдрома BWCFF. Introduction Baraitser-Winter Syndrome (BWCFF) is a very rare autosomal dominant hereditary disease caused by mutations in the ACTB and ACTG1 genes. Almost all known cases of this disease are caused by de novo missense mutations in the ACTB and ACTG1. In this paper we present a new case of BWCFF syndrome, due to p.Ile136Val mutation in the ACTB gene. Patients and methods. Proband - a boy, 6 years 8 months, out of twins. The patient’s phenotype was analyzed using the Face2Gene application. Direct sequencing of 1-4 exons and the adjacent intron sequences of the ACTB gene was performed in proband and all members of his family. Results. The proband has characteristic symptoms of BWCFF: postnatal borderline microcephaly, facial dysmorphism, iris colobomas of both eyes, short, webbed neck, epilepsy, congenital heart defect. Unlike most cases of the syndrome the patient does not have developmental delay and gross changes in the cortex or other structures of the brain. ACTB gene sequencing resulted in detection of heterozygous missense mutation p.406A> G (p.Ile136Val, rs1554329352) in proband. This mutation was not found in his parents and healthy siblings. Conclusion The use of modern phenotyping technologies allowed us to suggest the correct clinical diagnosis, to conduct an effective targeted search for mutations in the ACTB gene and diagnose a new case of BWCFF syndrome.
