First Clinical Report of Two RAB3GAP1 Pathogenic Variant in Warburg Micro Syndrome.

Warburg micro (WARBM) syndrome is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by severe brain and eye abnormalities. Loss-of-function mutations in RAB18, RAB3GAP2, RAB3GAP1, or TBC1D20 can lead to this disease. Here, we present two unrelated WARBM syndrome patients who had an RAB3GAP1 c.559 C > T, (p.Arg187Ter) and c.520 C > T (p.Arg174Ter) homozygous state. Both patients had microcephaly, microphthalmia, microcornea, bilateral congenital cataracts, severe intellectual disability, and congenital hypotonia. Using the method of next-generation sequencing and sanger sequencing, we found two nonsense variations at the splice site in exon 7 of RAB3GAP1 in the WARBM syndrome patients. The mutations were predicted to cause the syndrome due to the early stop codon, and the patients had the WARBM1 syndrome. We present the first clinical report of two different unreported variants with RAB3GAP1 mutation in the literature.

Rare combination in an infant patient: trisomy 7p and tetralogy of fallot.

This case report presents an infant patient with the association of trisomy 7p and tetralogy of fallot (TEF). Patients diagnosed with trisomy 7p should certainly be scheduled for an echocardiographic exam and be scanned for any CHDs that may accompany it. The CHDs that most frequently accompany this syndrome include atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, and patent ductus arteriosis. Yet, it should be known that TEF may also be present, albeit rarely.
