Abstract
RATIONALE
Mutations of connector enhancer of kinase suppressor of Ras-2 (CNKSR2) gene were identified as the cause of Houge type of X-linked syndromic mental retardation. The mutations of CNKSR2 gene are rare, we reporta patient carrying a novel nonsense mutation of CNKSR2,c.625C > T(p.Gln209∗) and review the clinical features and mutations of CNKSR2 gene for this rare condition considering previous literature.
PATIENT CONCERNS
We report a case of a 7-year and 5-month-old Chinese patient with clinical symptoms of intellectual disability, language defect, epilepsy and hyperactivity. Genetic study revealed a novel nonsense variant of CNKSR2, which has not been reported yet.
DIAGNOSIS
According to clinical manifestations, genetic pattern and ACMG classification of mutation site as Class 1-cause disease, the patient was diagnosed as Houge type of X-linked syndromic mental retardation caused by CNKSR2 gene mutation.
INTERVENTIONS
The patient was administrated with a gradual titration of valproic acid (VPA).
OUTCOMES
On administration of valproic acid, he had no further seizures.
LESSONS
This is the first time to report a nonsense variant in CNKSR2, c.625C > T(p.Gln209∗), this finding could expand the spectrum of CNKSR2 mutations and might also support the further study of Houge type of X-linked syndromic mental retardation.
