Report of a novel variant in the FAM111A gene in a fetus with multiple anomalies including gracile bones, hypoplastic spleen, and hypomineralized skull

Abstract

AbstractKenny‐Caffey syndrome type 2 (KCS2) and osteocraniostenosis (OCS) are allelic disorders caused by heterozygous pathogenic variants in the FAM111A gene. Both conditions are characterized by gracile bones, characteristic facial features, hypomineralized skull with delayed closure of fontanelles and hypoparathyroidism. OCS and KCS2 are often referred to as FAM111A‐related syndromes as a group; although OCS presents with a more severe, perinatal lethal phenotype. We report a novel FAM111A mutation in a fetus with poorly ossified skull, proportionate long extremities with thin diaphysis, and hypoplastic spleen consistent with FAM111A‐related syndromes. Trio whole exome sequencing identified a p.Y562S de novo missense variant in the FAM111A gene. The variant shows significant similarity to other reported pathogenic mutations fitting proposed pathophysiologic mechanism which provide sufficient evidence for classification as likely pathogenic. Our report contributed a novel variant to the handful of OCS and KCS2 cases reported with pathogenic variants.
