UNASSIGNED: Here, we describe 4 individuals with PACS1-related NDD from Mexico, all of them carrying a de novo PACS1 variant c.607C>T; p.(Arg203Trp) identified by exome sequencing. In addition to eye colobomata, this report identified corneal leukoma, cataracts, and tortuosity of retinal vessels as ophthalmic manifestations not previously reported in patients with PACS1-related NDD.
UNASSIGNED: We reviewed the ocular phenotypes reported in 74 individuals with PACS1-related NDD and the overlaps with WDR37- and PACS2-related syndromes. We found that the 3 syndromes have in common the presence of colobomata, ptosis, nystagmus, strabismus, and refractive errors, whereas microphthalmia, microcornea, and Peters anomaly are found only among individuals with PACS1-related NDD and WDR37 syndrome, being more severe in the latter. This supports the previous statement that the so-called WDR37-PACS1-PACS2 axis might have an important role in ocular development and also that the specific ocular findings could be useful in the clinical differentiation between these related syndromes.
■这里,我们描述了4名来自墨西哥的PACS1相关NDD患者,它们全部携带通过外显子组测序鉴定的从头PACS1变体c.607C>T;p.(Arg203Trp)。除了眼睛结瘤,这份报告确定了角膜白瘤,白内障,与PACS1相关的NDD患者以前没有报道过的视网膜血管弯曲作为眼科表现。
■我们回顾了74例PACS1相关NDD患者的眼部表型,以及与WDR37和PACS2相关综合征的重叠。我们发现这3种综合征都有共同的结肠瘤,上睑下垂,眼球震颤,斜视,和屈光不正,而小眼症,微角膜,仅在患有PACS1相关NDD和WDR37综合征的个体中发现Peters异常,后者更严重。这支持先前的陈述,即所谓的WDR37-PACS1-PACS2轴可能在眼部发育中起重要作用,并且特定的眼部发现可能有助于这些相关综合征之间的临床区分。
