Abstract

As one of the epidermal nevus syndromes, Schimmelpenning-Feuerstein-Mims (SFM) is characterized by craniofacial nevus sebaceous (NS) and extracutaneous abnormalities (e.g., brain, eyes, and bone). Here, we report a case of a 4-year-old boy who presented with significant skin abnormalities (NS in the scalp, extensive epidermal nevus along Blaschko's lines), ocular abnormalities (strabismus), central nervous system abnormalities (seizure and mental retardation), lymphatic dysplasia (chylous pleural and pericardial effusion), cardiac abnormalities (patent foramen ovale), urogenital system abnormalities (cryptorchidism, hypospadias), and a tumor predisposition (embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma). DNA samples from NS, rhabdomyosarcoma, and peripheral blood leukocytes were analyzed by next-generation sequencing. A novel mutation in the HRAS gene (c.38G>T; p.Gly13Val) was detected in a mosaic state in NS, rhabdomyosarcoma, and peripheral blood leukocytes, with different ratio of heterozygous mutation (HRAS c.38G>T) of 39.90% (9412/23 588 reads), 73.03% (205 562/281 468 reads), and 14.16% (15 837/111 842 reads), respectively. By predicting the impact of the mutation on the biological function of protein, we found that the novel HRAS mutation ...Continue Reading

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
