RESUMO

Ichthyosis prematurity syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive genodermatosis that is associated with mutations in the SLC27A4 gene. Its onset occurs in early childhood and presents with the clinical triad of premature birth, thick caseous desquamating epidermis, and neonatal asphyxia. Here, we describe a prematurely born baby patient (33 weeks of gestation) with a homozygous variant at the initiation codon site (c.1 A> G, p.Met1Val) in the SLC27A4 gene to raise awareness of this rare syndrome despite its distinctive features as we believe it is still underdiagnosed.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) has continued to cause sporadic outbreaks of severe respiratory tract infection over the last 8 years. METHODS: Complete genome sequencing using next-generation sequencing was performed for MERS-CoV isolates from cases that occurred in Riyadh between 2015 and 2019. Phylogenetic analysis and molecular mutational analysis were carried out to investigate disease severity. RESULTS: A total of eight MERS-CoV isolates were subjected to complete genome sequencing. Phylogenetic analysis resulted in the assembly of 7/8 sequences within lineage 3 and one sequence within lineage 4 showing complex genomic recombination. The isolates contained a variety of unique amino acid substitutions in ORF1ab (41), the N protein (10), the S protein (9) and ORF4b (5). CONCLUSION: Our study shows that MERS-CoV is evolving. The emergence of new variants carries the potential for increased virulence and could impose a challenge to the global health system. We recommend the sequencing every new MERS-CoV isolate to observe the changes in the virus and relate them to clinical outcomes.
