  • 文章类型: Case Reports
    Primrose syndrome (PRIMS), a rare genetic disorder with several clinical findings including intellectual disability, macrocephaly, typical facial features, and muscle wasting, is caused by heterozygous variants in the ZBTB20 gene. We report the cases of two males diagnosed with PRIMS at different ages, emphasizing the likely progressive nature of the disorder, as well as the differences and similarities of presentation during infancy and adulthood. Patient 1 is a 2-year-old American male with a medical history marked by impaired hearing, developmental delays, and fainting spells. Patient 2 is a 28-year-old Brazilian male, who presents with a phenotype similar to that seen in Patient 1 with additional features of ectopic calcifications and prominent muscular and skeletal abnormalities. Additionally, Patient 2 has a history of fainting spells and diminished body height and weight, with the latter features having only been reported in one PRIMS patient so far. Both Patients 1 and 2 were found to carry heterozygous likely pathogenic missense variants, detected in the last coding exon of ZBTB20 (c.1822T>C, p.Cys608Arg, de novo, and c.1873A>G, p.Met625Val, respectively), consistent with PRIMS. Overall, these case reports highlight PRIMS\'s likely progressive nature and contribute to the understanding of the natural history of this condition.
