Imerslund-Gräsbeck syndrome in a child with a novel compound heterozygous mutations in the AMN gene: a case report
In this case, whole exome sequencing proves to be highly practical in daily healthcare for diagnosing and refining rare or ultra-rare diseases with ambiguous phenotypes or genetic diversity. It is also valuable for prognostic evaluation and personalized management. Additionally, the oral vitamin B12 treatment demonstrated positive clinical effects for the child, offering a new option for patients unable to undergo intramuscular vitamin B12 replacement therapy.
