关键词: Alstrom syndrome (ALMS) ALMS1 gene variant child case report

摘要:
Background: Alstrom syndrome (ALMS) is an ultra-rare multisystem genetic disorder caused by autosomal recessive inheritance of the ALMS1 gene. It manifests as multisystem dysfunction, displaying unique clinical signs and symptoms and various severity, which may lead to delayed prognosis or misdiagnosis in medical practice. Although almost 300 pathogenic variants have been reported, there are some variant sites that have not been recognised yet. Case Description: We report a case of a 14-year-old boy with manifestations, including binocular vision loss, acanthosis nigricans, type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, elevated transaminase, hepatic fibrosis, and protcinuria. Compound heterozygous variants in the ALMS1 gene have been discovered by whole exon sequencing. One of his variant sites was C. 8158C>T; which was from his father. And the other variant site was C. 3575C>A, which was from his mother. To the great of our knowledge, this site has not been reported before. Both of the variants make the synthesis of the peptide chain terminated in advance and an incomplete polypeptide chain is formed. Conclusions: The clinical presentations of ALMS are complicated and varied. Although early diagnosis can be made according to typical clinical symptoms, whole exon sequencing is necessary for the diagnosis of ALMS, as indicated by our study.
