Hydrocephalus has not been considered part of BAFopathy until recently, when <em>ARID1A</em> variants were implicated in prenatal-onset hydrocephalus. It remains unknown whether <em>ARID1A</em>-associated hydrocephalus is linked to a specific class of variants and whether it exhibits an episignature comparable to that of BAFopathies. We conducted genomic and epigenomic analyses on a fetus diagnosed with severe hydrocephalus on prenatal ultrasound at 19 weeks. After detailed genetic counseling, the pregnancy was terminated at 21 weeks. The delivered fetus exhibited short fifth fingers, thin upper lip, and thick lower lip. Postmortem exome sequencing using umbilical cord blood identified a <em>de novo</em> heterozygous frameshift variant in the last exon of <em>ARID1A</em> (NM_006015.6:c.5259_5262dupGTCT, p.(Ser1755Valfs∗2)). The frameshift variant in the last exon was expected to escape nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), and we did confirm this through RNA-seq. Concurrent episignature analysis by nanopore sequencing and a support vector machine-based classifier showed that the fetus maps to the BAFopathy group rather than a separate position on the UMAP. Genotype-phenotype correlation analysis of unpublished data from previous reports regarding hydrocephalus and potential NMD escape, with input from the original authors, indicated that the association remains ambiguous.
