Abstract

Truncating mutations in the last and penultimate exons of the PPM1D gene were recently described as a cause for mild to severe intellectual disability in fourteen patients. Feeding difficulties, periods of fever and vomiting as well as a high pain threshold were described as additional characteristic features and the disorder was subsequently termed "intellectual developmental disorder with gastrointestinal difficulties and high pain threshold (IDDGIP)" in the OMIM database (MIM # 617450). Here we report on an additional patient carrying a novel de novo truncating mutation NM_003620.3: c.1535del, p.(Asn512Ilefs*2) in the last exon of PPM1D. While the patient showed features overlapping with the reported phenotype, such as a short stature and small hands and feet, he also presented with additional features like cleft lip and palate and an aberrant right subclavian artery. Notably, the patient did not have any gastrointestinal difficulties or periods of fever, indicating variability of the phenotype of patients with PPM1D mutations.

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.
