DPF2-related Coffin-Siris syndrome type 7 in two generations

To date 11 patients with Coffin-Siris syndrome type 7 (OMIM 618027) have been described since the first literature report. All reported patients carried de novo variants with presumed dominant negative effect, which localized in the PHD1/PHD2 domains of DPF2.

To date 11 patients with Coffin-Siris syndrome type 7 (OMIM 618027) have been described since the first literature report. All reported patients carried de novo variants with presumed dominant negative effect, which localized in the PHD1/PHD2 domains of DPF2.

Here we report on the first familial case of Coffin-Siris syndrome type 7. The index patient presented at the age of 1 year with failure to thrive and ectodermal anomalies. The genetic analysis using whole exome sequencing showed a likely pathogenic missense variant in the PHD1 region. The family analysis showed that the mother as well as the older brother of the index patient also carried the detected DPF2 variant in heterozygous state. The mother had a history of school difficulties but no history of failure to thrive and was overall milder affected. The brother showed developmental delay with autistic features, ectodermal anomalies and overlapping morphologic features but did not have a history of growth failure problems.

To our knowledge this is the first report of an inherited variant in DPF2, underlining the variability of the associated phenotype as well as the importance of considering inherited DPF2 variants during the variant filtering strategy of whole exome data.
