ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To explore the genetic basis for three children patients with CHARGE syndrome.@*METHODS@#The three children and their parents were subjected to whole exome sequencing, and candidate variants were verified by Sanger sequencing.@*RESULTS@#All patients had ocular anomalies including microphthalmia, microcornea, lens opacity, and coloboma of iris, optic nerve, retina and choroid. And all were found to carry heterozygous variants of the CHD7 gene, which included two frameshifting variant, namely c.1447delG (p.Val483Leufs*12) and c.1021_1048delAATCAGTCCGTACCAAGATACCCCAATG (p.Asn341Leufs*2) in exon 2, which were unreported previously and were pathogenic based on the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics standards and guidelines (PVS1+PM2+PM6), and a nonsense variant c.7957C>T (p.Arg2653*) in exon 36, which was known to be likely pathogenic (PVS1+PM2+PP4). Sanger sequencing confirmed that the two frameshifting mutations were de novo, and the nonsense mutation was also suspected to be de novo.@*CONCLUSION@#Pathological variants of the CHD7 gene probably underlay the CHARGE syndrome in the three patients.
