Abstract
Background
Autism spectrum disorder is a major neurodevelopmental disorder. Temtamy syndrome is a rare syndromic intellectual developmental disorder that presents with global developmental delay, autism, seizures, and agenesis/dysgenesis of the corpus callosum.
Methods
We report a case of a male child who presented with global developmental delay, and autism. Additional clinical features in the child were prominent eyes, long palpebral fissures with eversion of lateral third of the lower eyelid, hypoplastic nipples, and persistent fetal fingertip pads. The clinical features were in favor of Kabuki-like syndrome. MRI brain revealed corpus callosal dysgenesis, mild cerebellar para-vermian, and vermian atrophy.
Results
Trio exome sequencing has revealed a novel pathogenic compound heterozygous variant c.145A >T (p.Lys49Ter) and c.224_242del (p.Val85GlufsTer88) in exon 2 of the C12orf57 gene.
Conclusion
This is the first case of Temtamy syndrome reported from India with additional novel phenotypic features not reported previously and broadens the phenotypic spectrum of the disorder. In addition, it expands the spectrum of pathogenic variants in the C12orf57 gene.
