RESUMO
Agenesis of Corpus Callosum, Cardiac, Ocular, and Genital Syndrome (ACOGS; OMIM #618929) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by global developmental delay, agenesis or hypoplasia of corpus callosum, craniofacial dysmorphism, ocular, cardiac, and genital anomalies. ACOGS is caused by variations in the CDH2 gene. Our patient had a novel finding besides the classical findings of ACOGS. To the best of our knowledge, only 14 patients with ACOGS have been reported. Here, we reported the fifteenth patient with ACOGS, having a novel de novo nonsense variant in the CDH2 gene, and the first patient from Turkey with a novel finding. Our patient was the first female to have a renal anomaly since only genital malformations were reported in male patients (cryptorchidism, micropenis) so far.

Turnpenny-Fry syndrome is a very rare genetic disorder characterized by intellectual disability, developmental delay, facial dysmorphism, and skeletal abnormalities. Mutations of the PCGF2 gene are responsible for Turnpenny-Fry syndrome. This gene encodes the polycomb group ring finger 2 protein that is broadly expressed in various human tissues. To date, only 13 patients with Turnpenny-Fry syndrome have been reported. Our patient was referred to our clinic for neuromotor retardation and dysmorphic features. Whole exome sequencing (WES) was performed from the peripheral blood sample of the patient. WES revealed a heterozygous mutation in the PCGF2 gene. To the best of our knowledge, we reported the 14th patient with Turnpenny-Fry syndrome and the first from Turkey, who had new findings.
