MIRAGE Syndrome Caused by a De Novo c.3406G>C (p. Glu1136Gln) Mutation in the SAMD9 Gene Presenting With Neonatal Adrenal Insufficiency and Recurrent Intussusception: A Case Report.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI) presenting in the neonatal period can be life threatening and requires early recognition, diagnosis, and management. PAI due to adrenal hypoplasia (syndromic/non-syndromic) is a rare disorder. MIRAGE is a recently described syndrome with PAI and multisystem involvement.

Case presentation

A preterm female neonate presenting with PAI and persistent severe thrombocytopenia was diagnosed to have MIRAGE syndrome due to a de novo pathogenic variant c.3406G>C (p. Glu1136Gln) in the SAMD9 gene. In the first year of life, she had recurrent respiratory and gastrointestinal infection causing failure to thrive. At 17 months, she suffered recurrent intussusception requiring treatment with parenteral nutrition and high-dose st
