PADDAS syndrome associated with hair dysplasia caused by a de novo missense variant of PUM1 PUM1

摘要

PUM1 has been very recently reported as responsible for a new form of developmental disorder named PADDAS syndrome. We describe here an additional patient with early onset developmental delay, epilepsy, microcephaly, and hair dysplasia, with a de novo heterozygous missense variant of PUM1 : c.3439C??T, p.(Arg1147Trp). This variant was absent from databases and predicted deleterious by multiple softwares. The same missense variant has been reported by Gennarino et al., in a girl with much more severe epilepsy. Our report is in favor of a variable expressivity of PADDAS syndrome, and broadens the phenotypic spectrum with the description of hair dysplasia.
