Whole-Exome Sequencing Identifies a de novo AHDC1 Mutation in a Colombian Patient with Xia-Gibbs Syndrome.

ABSTRACT: Xia-Gibbs syndrome is an autosomal dominant multisystem developmental disorder characterized by global developmental delay, hypotonia, obstructive sleep apnea, seizures, retrocerebellar cysts, delayed myelination, micrognathia, and mild dysmorphic features. Using whole-exome sequencing, we identified a de novo AHDC1 frameshift mutation c.2030_2030delG (p.G677Afs*52) in a Colombian patient, which was absent in both parents. Furthermore, we summarized the phenotypes of patients reported in the literature.
