Growth Hormone Deficiency due to p.(Gln467Argfs*64) Mutation in the ARID1B Gene in a Girl with Coffin-Siris Syndrome

[摘要] Introduction: Coffin-Siris syndrome (CSS) (MIM #135900) is an extremely rare genetic multisystemic disorder characterized by aplasia or hypoplasia of the upper phalanx of the fifth finger, moderate to severe cognitive and/or developmental delay, and characteristic facial features (thick lashes, hypertrichosis of the trunk, sparse hair). Congenital anomalies of the brain, kidney, and heart have been described but are less consistent across patients. Case presentation:90-97th centile). Next-generation sequencing identified a mutation in the ARID1B gene. Discusion: Despite its phenotypic heterogeneity, key features of CSS have become clearer and along with molecular diagnosis, a further global approach to improve the care of these individuals is enabled. Appropriate therapies for this population are needed to optimize growth and intellectual potentials.
