RESUMO
PURA syndrome is caused by heterozygous de novo pathogenic variants in PURA. It is characterized by moderate to severe neurodevelopmental disability with a wide clinical spectrum and an evolving phenotype. We present two individuals with genetically confirmed PURA syndrome who had severe neonatal signs and symptoms and a novel phenotype suggestive of neuromuscular junction pathology. We demonstrate that PURA syndrome shares features consistent with a congenital myasthenic syndrome; we thus recommend electrodiagnostic study in neonates and infants with PURA syndrome, and consideration of salbutamol as a therapeutic option.
