Congenital Cataract and Narrow CSP: A Clue to Prenatal Diagnosis of RAB3GAP1-Associated Warburg Micro Syndrome

نویسندگان

چکیده

Abstract Warburg Micro Syndrome (WMS) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by intellectual disability, bilateral congenital cataracts, microphthalmia, and brain anomalies. We report 18-week fetus presenting with cataract narrow cavum septum pellucidum. Patient was counselled about the possible etiologies ranging from infectious to chromosomal single gene etiologies. Invasive testing for genetic analysis done determine etiology establish prognosis. A previously reported homozygous frameshift mutation identified in RAB3GAP1 leading diagnosis of WMS. This case highlights role detailed fetal sonography prognosticate pregnancies. Also WMS should be suspected fetuses or without

Large homozygous RAB3GAP1 gene microdeletion causes Warburg Micro Syndrome 1

Warburg micro syndrome (WARBM) is a genetic heterogeneous disease characterized by microcephaly, intellectual disability, brain, ocular, and endocrine anomalies. WARBM1-4 can be caused by biallelic mutations of the RAB3GAP1 (RAB3 GTPase-activating protein 1), RAB3GAP2, RAB18 (RAS-associated protein RAB18), or TBC1D20 (TBC1 domain protein, member 20) gene, respectively. Here, we delineate the so...

Prenatal Ultrasonographic Diagnosis of Congenital Cataract: a Case Report

Congenital cataracts are lens opacities that cause visual impairment in children. Early diagnosis of congenital cataracts is necessary because it facilitates appropriate intervention that can result in good visual function. Moreover, prenatal diagnosis, in particular, aids in the development of a therapeutic plan for the neonate. Ocular anomalies can be diagnosed prenatally because of the recen...

Sonographic prenatal diagnosis of congenital Marfan syndrome

Congenital Marfan syndrome is a rare and severe disease of the newborn, causing devastating and often fatal effects on the cardiovascular, pulmonary, and musculoskeletal systems. Familial mutations of FBN1 have been studied and identified in Marfan syndrome, but the congenital variant is often due to de novo mutations, limiting the diagnostic capabilities of genetic screening. Ultrasound is ess...

Prenatal detection of congenital bilateral cataract leading to the diagnosis of Nance-Horan syndrome in the extended family.

OBJECTIVES To describe a family in which it was possible to perform prenatal diagnosis of Nance-Horan Syndrome (NHS). METHODS The fetus was evaluated by 2nd trimester ultrasound. The family underwent genetic counseling and ophthalmologic evaluation. The NHS gene was sequenced. RESULTS Ultrasound demonstrated fetal bilateral congenital cataract. Clinical evaluation revealed other family memb...
