A Case of Short Stature Caused by a Mutation in the ACAN Gene.
Introduction: Aggrecanopathies are rare disorders associated with idiopathic short stature. They are caused by pathogenic changes in the ACAN gene located on chromosome 15q26. In this study, we present a case of short stature caused by mutations in the ACAN gene.
Case presentation: A 3-year-3-month-old male patient was referred to us because of his short stature. Physical examination revealed proportional short stature, frontal bossing, macrocephaly, midface hypoplasia, ptosis in the right eye, and wide toes. When the patient was 6 years and 3 months old, his bone age was compatible with 7 years of age. The patient underwent clinical exome sequencing and a heterozygous nonsense c.1243G>T, p.(Glu415*) pathogenic variant was detected in the ACAN gene. The same variant was found in his phenotypically similar father. Our patient is the second case with ptosis.
Discussion: ACAN gene mutation should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with idiopathic short stature. The development and widespread use of next-generation sequencing technology has increased the diagnostic and treatment possibilities.
期刊介绍:
''Molecular Syndromology'' publishes high-quality research articles, short reports and reviews on common and rare genetic syndromes, aiming to increase clinical understanding through molecular insights. Topics of particular interest are the molecular basis of genetic syndromes, genotype-phenotype correlation, natural history, strategies in disease management and novel therapeutic approaches based on molecular findings. Research on model systems is also welcome, especially when it is obviously relevant to human genetics. With high-quality reviews on current topics the journal aims to facilitate translation of research findings to a clinical setting while also stimulating further research on clinically relevant questions. The journal targets not only medical geneticists and basic biomedical researchers, but also clinicians dealing with genetic syndromes. With four Associate Editors from three continents and a broad international Editorial Board the journal welcomes submissions covering the latest research from around the world.
