First Report of Mexican Patients with PACS1-Related Neurodevelopmental Disorder and Review of the PACS1-, PACS2-, and WDR37-Related Ophthalmological Manifestations.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

PACS1-related neurodevelopmental disorder (PACS1-related NDD) is caused by pathogenic variants in the PACS1 gene and is characterized by a distinctive facial appearance, intellectual disability, speech delay, seizures, feeding difficulties, cryptorchidism, hernias, and structural anomalies of the brain, heart, eye, and kidney. There is a marked facial resemblance and a common multisystem affectation with patients carrying pathogenic variants in the WDR37 and PACS2 genes, although they vary in terms of severity and eye involvement.

Case presentation

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.
