ABSTRACT
Key Clinical Message This case report presents a child with PURA-related neurodevelopmental disorder, caused by the heterozygous pathogenic variant c.175C>T (p.Gln59*). The clinical symptoms included microcephaly, brachygnathia, central and peripheral hypotonia, and developmental delay (non-verbal), among others. On comparison with published literature, even patients with the same mutation present different clinical symptoms. Abstract This case report presents a child with PURA-related neurodevelopmental disorder, caused by the heterozygous pathogenic variant c.175C>T (p.Gln59*), whose symptoms included microcephaly, brachygnathia, the development of a high anterior hairline, hip dysplasia, strabismus, severe hypotonia, developmental delay (non-meaningful verbal), feeding difficulties, and respiratory difficulties. His development ceased with age, such that his development at 10 years corresponded to an infant of 6 months. Moreover, even patients with the same variant can have different clinical symptoms, such as the presence or absence of epilepsy or congenital malformations. Therefore, we should follow his long-term clinical course and provide medical support as necessary.
