Novel KMT5B variant associated with neurodevelopmental disorder in a Chinese family : A case report

© 2024 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd..

Background: We report here the clinical and genetic features of KMT5B-related neurodevelopmental disorder caused by a novel heterozygous frameshift variant in KMT5B in a Chinese family.

Case presentation: A 7-year-old Chinese boy with mild-to-moderate intellectual disability, significant language impairment, motor disability, and coordination difficulties presented to our hospital because he "could not speak and did not look at others." He was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder previously owing to developmental delays in cognition, language expression, and understanding. The child also had variable nonspecific features including macrocephaly, wide button-hole space and nasal bridge, low ear, social behavior disorder, and foot deformities. Exome sequencing (ES) revealed that both the proband and his younger brother had inherited a novel heterozygous frameshift variant c.438_439ins[ASD; KT192064.1:1_310] of the KMT5B gene from their father. Bioinformatics analysis showed that the novel mutation affected the structure of the KMT5B pre-SET domain, mainly in the α-helix region. According to the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) guidelines, this type of variant was eventually determined to be likely pathogenic (PVS1+PM2_P).

Conclusions: Our investigation expands the mutation spectrum of KMT5B to help us to better understand KMT5B-related neurodevelopmental disorder.
