REPORT OF TWO COUSINS WHO CULTIVATED PHENOTYPIC TRAITS AND GENETIC VARIABILITY: THE IMPORTANCE OF GENOTYPE-PHENOTYPE ADAPTATION.

Apresentação do caso

8 years-old boy, with no gestational or perinatal complications,
presenting developmental delay, nystagmus, facial dysmorphia, hypotonia, hypotonia, joint
hypermobility, patellar luxation, cryptorchidism and hypothyroidism. The genome sequencing
revealed a likely pathogenic variant c.3842_3843del:p. (Val1281Alafs*22) in the KAT6B
gene, in heterozygosis, associated to Say-Barber-Biesecker-Young-Simpson Syndrome and
Genitopatellar Syndrome, both with autosomal dominant inheritance pattern.
Girl, 16 years old, paternal cousin of the firt case, presenting consanguinity (first cousin
parents ​​with paternal and maternal grandparents monozygotic twin brothers) with no
gestational or perinatal complications presenting developmental delay, nystagmus, facials
dysmorphias, hypotonia, low visual acuity, ataxic gait, alopecia, finger syndactyly and
patellar luxation. In the genome was found a pathogenic variant c.830del:p
(Gly277AlafsTer20), residing in the CDH3 gene, in homozygosity; and another probably
pathogenic variant c.3379A>T:p.(Lys1127Ter) in the PRX gene, in homozygosity. The CHD3
gene is associated with the phenotypes of Ectodermal Dysplasia, Ectrodactyly and Macular
Dystrophy (DEEDM) and Congenital Hypertrichosis with Juvenile Macular Dystrophy
(HCDM), both with recessive autosomal inheritance; while the PRX gene is related with the
phenotypes of Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease 4F type, of autosomal recessive inheritance,
and of Dejerine-Sottas Disease of autosomal dominant or recessive inheritance.

Discussão

Diseases associated with the genes reported in the diagnostic analysis of
these cousins ​​are rare, with an estimated global prevalence of <1/1,000,000. The increase in
the frequency of autosomal recessive diseases caused by consanguinity is due to the finding
of rare variants in alleles inherited from a common ancestor. The identification in
homozygosis, in two genes reinforce the parental relationship of parents. In the grisl’s case it
can be observed that the characteristics of the complex phenotype correspond to alterations
in two distinct genes. However, characteristics often shared by members of the same family
need to be better investigated by molecular genetic tests.

Comentários finais

The described individuals, despite sharing important family consanguinity,
as well as some phenotypic characteristics suggesting involvement of one or more genes
segregating in the family, have distinct molecular diagnosis.
