METHODS: Prenatal ultrasound, clinical feature and family history of the child were analyzed. Whole exome sequencing was carried out for the child. Candidate variants were verified by Sanger sequencing.
RESULTS: The child has featured premature birth with very low weight, neonatal respiratory distress, metabolic acidosis, and congenital nephrotic syndrome. Gene sequencing revealed that he has harbored compound heterozygous variants of the PKHD1 gene (NM_138694), including c.3885T>A (p.Tyr1295*) in exon 32 and c.7812_7816dupTGATA (p.Thr2606Metfs*63) in exon 49, which were respectively inherited from his mother and father.
CONCLUSIONS: The compound heterozygous variants of the PKHD1 gene probably underlay the disease in this child.
