De novo heterozygous mutations in the KAT6A gene give rise to a distinct intellectual disability syndrome, with features including speech delay, cardiac anomalies, craniofacial dysmorphisms, and craniosynostosis. Here, we reported a 16-year-old girl with a novel pathogenic variant of the KAT6A gene. She is the first case to possess pancraniosynostosis, a rare suture fusion pattern, affecting all her major cranial sutures. The diagnosis of KAT6A syndrome is established via recognition of its inherent phenotypic features and the utilization of whole exome sequencing. Thorough craniofacial evaluation is imperative, craniosynostosis may require operative intervention, the delay of which may be detrimental.We report the case of a 3-year-old male patient who presented with a 3-day history of altered mental status, emesis, and abdominal pain in the setting of a viral illness. A rapid screening revealed a high ammonia level and after reviewing his proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS) which showed the classic triad of high glutamate, low choline, and myoinositol, a diagnosis of ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (OTCD) was made within 6 hours of presentation. Therapy with sodium phenylbutyrate and sodium benzoate was initiated and patient was discharged after 3 days with no neurologic disability. Biochemical and molecular testing eventually confirmed the diagnosis. Bardoxolone mouse 1H MRS is a practical and fast neuroimaging modality that can aid in diagnosis of OTCD and enables faster initiation of treatment in acute settings.Mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIB (Sanfilippo's B; OMIM no. 252920) is a lysosomal storage disorder caused by defective degradation of heparan sulfate. The enzyme that has decreased function in this disease is α-N acetylglucosaminidase. This enzyme is encoded by the NAGLU gene. A 9-year-old male patient was referred to us with speech disability, developmental delay, hepatomegaly, mild learning disability, and otitis media with effusion complaints. Whole exome sequencing (WES) was performed because of consanguinity between the parents of the patient and the lack of specific prediagnosis. As a result of the patient's WES analysis, a homozygous mutation was detected in the NAGLU gene. The leukocyte enzyme activity was then evaluated to confirm the diagnosis. Alpha-N acetylglucosaminidase deficiency was found. Alpha-N acetylglucosaminidase activity was 0.2 nmol/mLh. WES is a successful diagnostic method in the diagnosis of the mild clinical diseases with recessive inheritance. In addition, our case is a good example of genotype to phenotype diagnosis. Because in storage diseases, the diagnosis is made by leukocyte enzyme analysis first, and then the result is confirmed by gene analysis. The opposite situation occurred in our case.Complete labyrinthine aplasia (CLA) is a rare inner ear anomaly. The only identified genetic cause of CLA with severe sensorineural hearing loss is labyrinthine aplasia, microtia, and microdontia (LAMM) syndrome. Here we reported a child who presented with syndromic hearing loss and was diagnosed with LAMM syndrome. Genetic evaluation provided the family with confirmation of the diagnosis, provision of the prognosis, genetic counselling, and prenatal diagnosis. This report highlighted that CLA should be recognized as a unique sign to diagnose LAMM syndrome, to analyze FGF3 gene mutation, and also demonstrated the utility of genetic testing in patients with suspected LAMM syndrome to provide exact diagnosis and further management.Cherubism is a rare genetic condition characterized by a bone nonneoplastic disease. We aimed to report a 6-year-old girl with cherubism presenting similar cases in the maternal family. However, her mother and grandmother seemed to be asymptomatic. The patient had an enlarged and asymmetric jaw with multiple enlarged cervical lymph nodes that increased in size with time. Sanger sequencing revealed a heterozygous mutation in exon 9 of SH3BP2 not only in the patient but also in her mother. Thus, we observed a variable expression and a probably reduced penetrance within the family, as well as unusual characteristics of the patient (in this case, the asymmetrical involvement of the jaw).Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency represents a group of autosomal recessive disorders characterized by impaired cortisol production due to altered upstream steroid conversions, subclassified as classic and nonclassic forms. The genotype-phenotype correlation is possible in the most frequent case but not in all. Despite in literature many mutations are known, there is the possibility of finding a new genetic pattern in patients with CAH.Children with mitochondrial disorders represent a subset of patients who require unique anesthetic considerations. Routinely administered medications for general anesthesia, such as propofol, have been shown to increase the risk of developing metabolic acidosis. In addition, both depolarizing and nondepolarizing neuromuscular blockers are contraindicated due to the risk of hyperkalemic cardiac arrest and worsening of preexisting muscle weakness, respectively. These limitations pose challenges while choosing appropriate medications for induction of general anesthesia, especially when the risk of aspiration is high. We present a novel case of using inhaled sevoflurane and intravenous alfentanil to facilitate intubation in a 4-year-old girl with a complex 1 mitochondrial disorder suffering from severe gastroparesis and esophageal dysmotility.Kabuki syndrome (KS) is a rare genetic condition with multiple congenital abnormalities and developmental delay. The cardinal manifestations of KS include characteristic facial features, intellectual disability, skeletal defects, dermatoglyphic abnormalities, and postnatal growth deficiencies. Cardiac and urological malformations are commonly present in patient with KS, as well as language deficits and immunological abnormalities. Here, we reported a case of a child with an atypical form of KS, associated with macrodontia, corpus callosum dysmorphism, focal epilepsy responsive to antiepileptic treatment, and a novel KMT2D gene missense variant, c.2413C > T, never reported to date.
