Vissers-Bodmer Syndrome Caused by a Novel De Novo CNOT1 Frameshift Variant
American journal of medical genetics Part A(2023)
Abstract
Vissers-Bodmer Syndrome (VIBOS) is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by variants in the CNOT1 gene. It is characterized by systemic developmental and language-motor delay, intellectual disabilities, growth and behavioral abnormalities, hypotonia, and distal skeletal defects, such as deformities of the hands and feet. This syndrome becomes evident during infancy and can display a highly variable phenotype. Thirty-nine individuals with heterozygous de novo CNOT1 variants were first reported in 2019. Herein, we report a child with VIBOS who exhibited delayed motor development for over 4 years, along with hypotonia and atypical facial features. Notably, the patient developed short stature as the primary characteristic without any intellectual disability or organic nervous system lesions. Genetic testing revealed a de novo base duplication variant in exon 5 of the CNOT1 gene, NM_016284.5(CNOT1):c.316_317dup(p.Pro107Serfs*10). Importantly, the pathogenicity of this specific variant has not been reported in relevant literature. This study reports a new variant, thereby enriching the variant spectrum of CNOT1 associated with VIBOS, and contributes to the genetic counseling of affected families.
