PURPOSE: To report a case of concurrent pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration (PKAN) and oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) with dual PANK2 and OCA2 variants in a Chinese patient who presented with early-onset reduced vision, nyctalopia, and neurological symptoms.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Based on the ocular phenotype and provisional diagnosis of rod-cone dystrophy, genetic testing was pursued. Peripheral blood DNA extraction was carried out with the next-generation sequencing technique, which involved a population-specific medical exome virtual panel. Pre- and post-test counseling were carried out by clinical geneticists.
RESULT: Homozygous missense variants in PANK2 {NM_153638.3}:c.655 G>A (p.(Gly219Ser)) and OCA2{NM_025160.6}:c.1327 G>A(p.(Val443Ile)) were identified. The molecular diagnoses of pantothenate kinase associated neurodegeneration (OMIM#234200) and albinism, oculocutaneous, type II (OMIM#203200) were supported by clinical findings.
CONCLUSION: Two rare autosomal recessive diseases, pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration (PKAN) and oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) were detected in our patient. Ocular and systemic manifestations, as well as neuroimaging findings were compatible with the diseases identified. Genetic analysis is imperative in making an accurate molecular diagnosis in these rare conditions to allow timely counseling, disease prognostication and management.
