Experience of Mowat–Wilson syndrome prenatal diagnosis for a Chinese family
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mowat-Wilson syndrome (MWS) is a complex developmental disorder. We report the first prenatal diagnosis provided for a family in mainland China after identifying the causal mutation for the proband. Special focus on MWS-related organs during prenatal ultrasound scan is described which is extremely important for genetic counseling of parents.

A case of Mowat–Wilson syndrome with developmental delays and Hirschsprung’s disease
Mowat-Wilson syndrome is an extremely rare genetic disease that is characterized by intellectual disability, facial dysmorphism, Hirschsprung’s disease, and other congenital anomalies. This disorder is caused by heterozygous mutations or deletions in the zinc finger E-box-binding homeobox-2 gene (ZEB2). Thus far, approximately 200 cases of Mowat-Wilson syndrome have been reported worldwide. In ...
متن کاملIdentification of the rs797045105 in the SERAC1 gene by Whole-Exome Sequencing in a Patient Suspicious of MEGDEL Syndrome
Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) has been increasingly utilized in genetic determinants of various inherited diseases. We identified a new variation in SERAC1 as the cause of 3-Methylglutaconic Aciduria (MEG), Deafness (D), Encephalopathy (E), and Leigh-like (L), MEGDEL syndrome using WES. We found an insertion, rs797045105 (chr6, 158571484, C>CCATG), in the SERAC1 gene with homozygous genotype in ...

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...
متن کاملNonsense mutations of the ZFHX1B gene in two Japanese girls with Mowat-Wilson syndrome.
Mowat-Wilson syndrome (MWS) is a multiple congenital anomaly-mental retardation complex caused by mutations in the Zinc Finger Homeobox 1 B gene (ZFHX1B). MWS has been reported in association with Hirschsprung disease (HSCR). MWS is sometimes difficult to diagnose clinically, especially when HSCR is absent. Thus, it is necessary to detect gene abnormalities at the molecular level. Here we repor...
