The EHMT1 gene located at chromosome 9q34.3 region, which contains a total of 28 exons, and the initiation of ATG occurs in exon 2 (Kleefstra et al., 2006). Kleefstra et al. (2009) reported 16 patients with 9q subtelomeric deletion syndrome and six patients with an intragenic EHMT1 mutation. All patients presented with the core phenotype of the deletion syndrome, and there were no phenotype-genotype correlations between size of the deletions or type of mutations and severity of clinical features, so they concluded that the haploinsufficiency of EHMT1 gene was the basis for the phenotypic features of the deletion syndrome. There are more than 100 cases of KS reported so far, of which about 75% are caused by a heterozygous microdeletion in the 9q34.3 region containing the EHMT1 gene, and 25% are caused by loss-of-function, intragenic EHMT1 variants (Atik et al., 2015). We report an individual with KS1 and multiple Mongolian spots (also known as congenital dermal melanocytosis) caused by a novel pathogenic nonsense variant NM_024757:exon 9:c.1468C >T(p.R490*) in the EHMT1 gene. Case report An 11-month-old girl born at 37 weeks of gestational age to a 27-year-old G1P0 → 1 mother was referred to our clinics because of motor developmental delay (DD). Pregnancy and family history were noncontributory. She achieved head control by 5 months, and could sit up independently by 10 months but was not able to crawl or say simple words such as ‘Mom’ or ‘Dad’. Growth parameters were as follows: weight 7.0 kg (<3rd centile), length 67.5 cm (<3rd centile), head circumference 41.0 cm (<3rd centile). Indifferent reaction, not easy to be amused, unable to actively look at others, no response to name. The back, buttocks, and the outside of the right thigh were diffusely distributed with bluish-brown Mongolian spots (Fig. 1). The head circumference was small (Microcephaly) and the front and back diameter of the head was short.

Patients with 3MC syndrome have a distinctive facial phenotype including hypertelorism, highly arched eyebrows and ptosis. A significant number of patients have bilateral cleft lip and palate and they often exhibit genitourinary and skeletal anomalies. A clinical clue to 3MC syndrome is the presence of a characteristic caudal appendage. Genetic variants in MASP1, COLEC11 and COLEC10 genes have been identified as the causation of this syndrome, yet relatively few patients have been described so far. We consolidate and expand current knowledge of phenotypic features and molecular diagnosis of 3MC syndrome by describing the clinical and molecular findings in five patients.
