Case Report: Novel GLA mutation in a Chinese female with renal-predominant Fabry disease and cardiac hypertrophy
BackgroundFabry disease (FD) is a rare X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by GLA gene mutations, leading to deficient α-galactosidase A (α-Gal A) activity and progressive accumulation of globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) and globotriaosylsphingosine …

Case Report: Myoclonic and tremulous movements associated with COQ8A-related coenzyme Q10 deficiency type 4
BackgroundPrimary coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) deficiency is a rare, treatable mitochondrial disorder often caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in COQ8A gene (also known as ADCK3). It typically manifests as childhood-onset cerebellar ataxia with variable m…

Familial multiple fetal cerebral arteriovenous malformations: a case report of maternal genetic susceptibility and fetal manifestation
IntroductionCerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are rare vascular anomalies that can present significant clinical challenges, especially when occurring in multiple sites. Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), a genetic disorder may be ca…

Case Report: genotype–phenotype correlations in FLNA mutations: insights from a case of multisystem dysfunction
BackgroundFilamin A (FLNA) mutations are associated with the development of numerous diseases and disorders. Although recent studies have shed light on genotype–phenotype relationships, the evidence remains fragmented.Case presentationHerein, we report…

Retinitis pigmentosa and sensorineural deafness associated with a de novo DHX16 mutation: case report
BackgroundRetinitis pigmentosa and sensorineural deafness are two distinct clinical entities that can be caused by a variety of genetic mutations. The DHX16 gene, which encodes a protein involved in RNA processing, has been implicated in several geneti…

Case Report: UMOD gene mutation and phenotypic overlap with REN in autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney disease
Autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney disease (ADTKD) is a rare monogenic kidney disorder characterized by progressive tubular atrophy and interstitial fibrosis. It is primarily associated with pathogenic variants in genes such as UMOD (uromodul…

Neonatal-onset familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis: a case report with genetic confirmation of PRF1 mutations
Familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (FHL) is a rare, inherited immune-dysregulation syndrome that can present in the neonatal period and progress rapidly without timely recognition. We report a full-term female who developed abdominal distensio…

Early onset Arboleda-Tham syndrome due to KAT6A variants: Case report
BackgroundArboleda-Tham syndrome (ARTHS), caused by likely pathogenic or pathogenic variants in the KAT6A gene, is characterized by developmental delay, distinctive facial dysmorphic features, and congenital cardiac anomalies. ARTHS warrants considerat…

Type 1 Bartter syndrome presenting as primary diabetes insipidus: a rare Case Report with 8-year follow-up
Type 1 Bartter syndrome (BS), a rare autosomal recessive salt-losing tubulopathy, classically presents with hyponatremia, hypochloremia, hypokalemic alkalosis, and hyperreninemic hyperaldosteronism. We report a male patient with the atypical presentati…
