RESUMO
The deletion of the DIS3L2 gene causes the extremely uncommon congenital overgrowth syndrome, known as Perlman syndrome, which is autosomal recessive. Polyhydramnios, macrosomia, facial dysmorphism, renal dysplasia, and several congenital abnormalities with Wilms tumor propensity are its defining features. Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS), prune belly syndrome (PBS), and Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome (SGBS1) have certain similar clinical characteristics with Perlman syndrome. The syndrome is often associated with a high neonatal mortality rate and there are few reports of long-term survivors. Here, we present a case with the classic clinical features of Perlman syndrome and a DIS3L2 gene deletion that was discovered prenatally.
