Abstract
This article reports a child with cardioaciocutaneous syndrome (CFCS) caused by a rare microdeletion of chromosome 19p13.3, and a literature review is conducted. The child had unusual facies, short stature, delayed mental and motor development, macrocephaly, and cardiac abnormalities. Whole-exome sequencing identified a 1 040 kb heterozygous deletion in the 19p13.3 region of the child, which was rated as a "pathogenic variant". This is the first case of CFCS caused by a loss-of-function mutation reported in China, which enriches the genotype characteristics of CFCS. It is imperative to enhance the understanding of CFCS in children. Early identification based on its clinical manifestations should be pursued, and genetic testing should be performed to facilitate diagnosis.

The Chinese Journal of Contemporary Pediatrics (CJCP) is a peer-reviewed open access periodical in the field of pediatrics that is sponsored by the Central South University/Xiangya Hospital of Central South University and under the auspices of the Ministry of Education of China. It is cited as a source in the scientific and technological papers of Chinese journals, the Chinese Science Citation Database (CSCD), and is one of the core Chinese periodicals in the Peking University Library. CJCP has been indexed by MEDLINE/PubMed/PMC of the American National Library, American Chemical Abstracts (CA), Holland Medical Abstracts (EM), Western Pacific Region Index Medicus (WPRIM), Scopus and EBSCO. It is a monthly periodical published on the 15th of every month, and is distributed both at home and overseas. The Chinese series publication number is CN 43-1301/R;ISSN 1008-8830. The tenet of CJCP is to “reflect the latest advances and be open to the world”. The periodical reports the most recent advances in the contemporary pediatric field. The majority of the readership is pediatric doctors and researchers.
