Abstract
Non-immune hydrops fetalis (NIHF) is abnormal accumulation of serous fluid in ≥2 interstitial spaces with no evidence of maternal red cell alloimmunization. Leaving a few treatable conditions, it is generally considered as a sign of poor fetal outcome. Bi-allelic variants in THSD1 have been found to be to be associated with phenotypes ranging from lethal NIHF to persistent edema. Here, we report a family with non-immune hydrops in two successive pregnancies. Whole exome sequencing in second pregnancy identified a homozygous truncating variant in THSD1 (NM_018676:c.892G>T:p.Glu298Ter). Postnatal follow up showed gradual resolution of the accumulated fluid and normal development. This report further strengthens the association of variants in THSD1 with NIHF.
