Novel characterization of CASK variant c.1963 A>G (p.Asn655Asp) through whole-exome sequencing in a monochorionic diamniotic twin fetus with significant brain anomalies : A case report
© 2024 The Authors..
Whole-exome sequencing is an evolving technology in perinatal diagnosis which allows identification of genetic etiologies that would otherwise go undetermined. In this case report, a 38-year-old Hispanic woman, G5P3013, with a monochorionic diamniotic twin gestation with one fetus displaying significant cranial abnormalities on prenatal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain is presented. Fetal anomalies included bilateral ventriculomegaly, absent cavum septum pellucidum, and absent corpus callosum. Diagnostic amniocentesis with chromosome analysis, chromosomal microarray, alpha-fetoprotein, cytomegalovirus, toxoplasmosis, and parvovirus had normal results. Whole-exome sequencing for the anomalous fetus detected a de novo mosaic variant of uncertain significance (VUS) in the calcium/calmodulin dependent serine protein kinase (CASK) gene: c.1963 A > G (p.Asn655Asp). This variant was absent in the normal twin fetus, the mother, and the father. Pathogenic CASK gene mutations are associated with three syndromes: FG syndrome 4, intellectual developmental disorder and microcephaly with pontine and cerebellar hypoplasia (MICPCH), and intellectual developmental disorder with or without nystagmus. Whole-exome sequencing identified a potential etiology for the anomalies detected. The variant likely arose de novo and was the potential cause of the identified cranial abnormalities in one fetus of this monochorionic diamniotic twin gestation. Whole-exome sequencing may provide additional diagnostic utility when standard diagnostic testing is noncontributory.
