Synaptotagmin-1 (SYT1) plays a pivotal role in regulating presynaptic processes, including neurotransmitter release. SYT1 variants perturb synaptic vesicle endocytosis and exocytosis, resulting in a series of neurodevelopmental disorders defined as Baker-Gordon syndrome. Herein, we report the case of a newborn with dysmorphic facial appearance, severe hypotonia, poor feeding, gastroesophageal reflux, and an inability to eat and breathe, diagnosed with Baker-Gordon syndrome. A retrospective search was performed on a newborn with Baker-Gordon syndrome. Medical charts were reviewed, with focus on the clinical presentation, diagnostic process, and treatment outcomes. Whole-genome high-throughput DNA sequencing was performed to identify genetic variants. Whole-exome sequencing identified the likely pathogenic variant as SYT1 C.551 T > C(p.V184A). Sanger sequencing results indicated that this variant was a de novo mutation in a conservative site located in the C2A domain of the protein. The patient died at 57 days old because of severe feeding and breathing problems. Our findings of a novel lethal variant in the C2A domain of SYT1 in the youngest patient diagnosed infantile Baker-Gordon syndrome who presented with the most severe hypotonia reported to date expands the spectrum of SYT1- associated neurodevelopmental disorders.
