A typical Say-Barber-Biesecker/Young-Simpson syndrome caused by heterozygous mutation of KAT6B gene / 中华实用儿科临床杂志

A patient with global developmental delay and facial abnormality treated in Hunan Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital in September 2018 was diagnosed as a typical Say-Barber-Biesecker/Young-Simpson syndrome (SBBYSS)accompanied with comprehensive clinical manifestations and genetic testing was carried out.The patient carries a heterozygous synonymous mutation of KAT6B gene (NM_012330.3)c.3147G>A (p.P1049P), thus leading to the formation of a new cleavage site (receptor) and forming a new truncated protein.In Chinese, this is the second typical SBBYSS that has been identified and the first prenatal genetic diagnosis has been performed.This study has broadened the mutation spectrum of SBBYSS caused by the mutation of KAT6B gene in Chinese population.

Genitopatellar Syndrome Secondary to De Novo KAT6B Mutation: The First Genetically Confirmed Case in South Korea

Genitopatellar syndrome (GPS) is a rare disorder characterized by patellar hypoplasia, flexion contractures of the lower limbs, psychomotor retardation and genital and renal anomalies. We report the case of a female infant diagnosed with GPS to a KAT6B gene mutation, which was identified using whole exome sequencing.
