English Abstract
Journal Article
[Phelan-McDermid syndrome associated with a novel heterozygous mutation in the SHANK3 gene].
Phelan-McDermid syndrome (PMS) is a hereditary disorder associated with microdeletions of chromosome 22q13 or point mutations in SHANK3, characterized by mental and speech delays, intellectual disability, epilepsy and autism spectrum disorder. We describe a case PMS associated with a heterozygous mutation c.2486delC (p.Pro829fs) in SHANK3. The diagnostic pathway of a female patient with PMS took more than 7 years; the reason for treatment was the onset of epileptic seizures and impaired speech development. The existence of different types of rearrangements and genomic variations can explain the high clinical variability observed in individuals with PMS. Only molecular diagnosis can accurately diagnose individuals with PMS for follow-up and medical genetic counselling of families.
