BACKGROUND: There are limited information available related to neonatal characteristics of RASopathies, a group of autosomal dominant syndromes with considerable phenotypic overlap.
METHODS: The retrospective review revealed 9 neonates born with congenital heart defects (CHDs) and diagnosed as RASopathies due to de novo mutations (DNMs) by trio-based exome sequencing (ES) between January 2017 and December 2020. We report in details of the neonatal course, molecular analysis and 180-days of age follow-up in affected individuals.
RESULTS: The early clinical spectrum included various types of CHDs, less noticeable multiple extracardiac anomalies and unspecific symptoms like poor feeding. Of the 8 variants identified from 6 genes, 2 in RASA1 were novel: (NM_002890.2: c.2828 T > C (p.Leu943Pro)) and (NM_002890.2: c.2001del (p.Pro668Leufs*10)), which functionally impaired the protein structure. There was a relatively high mortality rate of 33.33% (3/9) for all the defects combined. A RAF1-deficient male and a RASA1-deficient male survived from severe heart failure by surgical interventions in early life.
CONCLUSIONS: Our results revealed that family-based ES was useful in identifying DNMs and causal genes for sporadic diseases and screening Rasopathies shortly after birth. We recommended a family-based ES and a full phenotypic evaluation including echocardiogram, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasonography and coagulation screening in neonates with CHDs and a suspected genetic etiology.
