Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Laminin-α2 (LAMA2) chain-deficient muscular dystrophy (LAMA2-MD) is the most common congenital muscular dystrophy (CMD) in the world. Its main manifestations are muscle weakness and hypotonia that occur after birth or at early infancy.
CASE DESCRIPTION: We reported a case of a 3-year-old and 6-month-old boy presented with delayed motor development, elevated creatine kinase (CK) levels, and abnormal white matter in the brain. Whole exome sequencing (WES) showed compound heterozygous variants of the LAMA2 gene. This case reports for the first time the compound heterozygous LAMA2 variants c.5476C>T (p.R1826*) (paternal inheritance) with c.2749 + 2dup (maternal inheritance), as both variants are interpreted as pathogenic/potentially pathogenic variants.
CONCLUSIONS: This study reports a novel heterozygous variant, including two pathogenic variants in the LAMA2 gene, and highlights the effectiveness of highly efficient exome sequencing applying in patients with undefined CMDs.
