Analysis of a case of Warburg micro syndrome type 1 due to variant of RAB3GAP1 gene / 中华医学遗传学杂志

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To explore the clinical and genetic characteristics of a child featuring developmental delay.@*METHODS@#The child was subjected to whole exome sequencing. Candidate variant was verified by Sanger sequencing.@*RESULTS@#Whole genome sequencing revealed that the child has carried compound heterozygous variants c.2607-1G>C and c.899 + 2dupT of the RAB3GAP1 gene, which were respectively derived from her mother and father.@*CONCLUSION@#A rare case of Warburg micro syndrome type 1 was diagnosed. The phenotype of the child was consistent with the literature, in addition with dysplasia of palatine arch, prominent high palatal arch and tooth dysplasia. Above finding has provided a basis for genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis for the family.
