Abstract
Background:GAI and MPSIIIB are two rare genetic disorders caused by pathogenic variants in two different genes. Here, we report a coexistence of these two different rare disorders in an individual. Methods:A four-year-old Iranian boy born to first-cousin parents suspected to have MPSIIIB and/or GAI was investigated in this study. Targeted genomic enrichment and NGS were used to examine genes related to MPS and GA. Sanger sequencing was performed to confirm the results. Results:Two homozygous likely pathogenic variants in NAGLU and GCDH genes were found and confirmed in the proband. Conclusion:A combination of specific features of two different diseases in a patient has been reported here. More studies on this case and similar cases can provide more information about the effect of simultaneous pathogenic variants in different genes.
