Abstract
Adaptor-related protein complex 1 subunit sigma 2 (AP1S2) is a subunit of AP1 that is crucial for the reformation of the synaptic vesicle. Variants in AP1S2 have been reported to cause a rare neurodevelopmental disorder, Pettigrew syndrome (PGS) (OMIM: 304,340), which is characterized by walking delay, abnormal speech, mild to profound X-linked intellectual disability (XLID), and abnormal brain, and behaviors. Here, we describe a 2-year- and 5-month-old male patient who presented with global developmental delay (GDD). Trio whole exome sequencing (WES) revealed a 5 bp duplicate in the AP1S2 gene (NM_003916.5: exon 2: c.96_100dup, p. Leu34Glnfs*8) predicted to cause early termination of translation, which was inherited from the unaffected mother. The clinical features of our patient were consistent with previous reports. This is the second case in the Chinese family and the eleventh variant found in AP1S2-related XLID. Our findings expand the AP1S2 variant spectrum in neurodevelopmental disorders and provide evidence for the application of WES in PGS diagnosis.This publication has 20 references indexed in Scilit:
