Kabuki syndrome (KS) is a rare heterogeneous phenotypic genetic syndrome, characterized by hypotonia, developmental delay and/or intellectual disability with typical facial features. It is challenging to diagnose KS in newborn and young infant. We report a Thai girl who presented with two rare co-occurrence phenotypes, hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia and midgut malrotation. She had not have distinctive facial dysmorphism during neonatal period. At 4 months of age, she had poor weight gain with some facial features suggestive KS. Singleton whole exome sequencing (WES) was carried out followed by Sanger sequencing of the supposed variant. The result indicated a novel de novo heterozygousKMT2Dmutation, c.15364A>T (p.Lys5122*), confirming KS. Our patient revealed rare clinical manifestations from the diverse population and address the benefit of WES in establishing early diagnosis of KS before typical facial gestalt exhibited, which allows timely and appropriate management to maximize developmental achievement.

A Novel Homozygous PKP2 Variant in Severe Neonatal Non-compaction and Concomitant Ventricular Septal Defect: A Case Report

Poomiporn Katanyuwong, Arthaporn Khongkraparn, Duangrurdee Wattanasirichaigoon

Summary: Left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) is a rare and genetically heterogeneous cardiomyopathy that predominantly affects infants and young children. This study presents a rare case of neonatal-onset LVNC and multiple muscular VSD associated with a novel homozygous PKP2 variant. The findings expand the phenotypes and genotypes of PKP2-related disorders and lethal LVNC.

Summary: This study used whole exome sequencing and targeted gene analysis to determine the clinical features and genetic defects in five patients with EB with CAS. The study identified extremely rare phenotypes, such as congenital cloudy cornea, esophagogastric obstruction, and anuria, and expanded the genotypic spectrum of EB-related genes.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of gentamicin on stop codon readthrough of IDUA variants and found that gentamicin significantly increased the expression and activity of IDUA. Changes in RNA secondary structure were observed in variants that responded to readthrough. Further studies in patient's skin fibroblasts and animal models are needed for personalized medicine.

Summary: Newborn screening is a public health service used in many countries to screen for treatable conditions, including Thailand. Limited data on parental perspectives and the socio-cultural and economic differences between Western and Asian countries prompted a study to explore parental perspectives on newborn screening in Thailand. The study found that there is good awareness but limited knowledge among parents, and suggests the need for appropriate education during antenatal care.
