نویسندگان
چکیده
•Baraitser-Winter cerebrofrontofacial syndrome (BWMS) is caused by actin gene mutations.•Key features of BWMS are ptosis, hypertelorism, iris colobomata, and mental retardation.•Generalized epilepsy is seen in half of those with BWMS.•Seizures in BWMS can be absence, myoclonic, tonic, or tonic-clonic.

Baraitser-Winter cerebrofrontofacial syndrome.
Baraitser-Winter cerebrofrontofacial syndrome (BWCFF) (BRWS; MIM #243310, 614583) is a rare developmental disorder affecting multiple organ systems. It is characterised by intellectual disability (mild to severe) and distinctive facial appearance (metopic ridging/trigonocephaly, bilateral ptosis, hypertelorism).

متن کاملPathogenic Variant in ACTB, p.Arg183Trp, Causes Juvenile-Onset Dystonia, Hearing Loss, and Developmental Delay without Midline Malformation
ACTB encodes the β-actin, and pathogenic variations in this gene have typically been associated with Baraitser-Winter cerebrofrontofacial syndrome, a congenital malformation syndrome characterized by short stature, craniofacial anomalies, and cerebral anomalies. Here, we describe the third case with the p.Arg183Trp variant in ACTB causing juvenile-onset dystonia. Our patient has severe, intract...
متن کاملNew SMARCA2 mutation in a patient with Nicolaides–Baraitser syndrome and myoclonic astatic epilepsy
We report a de novo SMARCA2 missense mutation discovered on exome sequencing in a patient with myoclonic astatic epilepsy, leading to reassessment and identification of Nicolaides-Baraitser syndrome. This de novo SMARCA2 missense mutation c.3721C>G, p.Gln1241Glu is the only reported mutation on exon 26 outside the ATPase domain of SMARCA2 to be associated with Nicolaides-Baraitser syndrome and ...
