Novel Compound Heterozygous Variants in the <scp> <i>TCTN2</i> </scp> Gene Causing Meckel–Gruber Syndrome 8 in a Non‐Consanguineous Chinese Family

This study further expands the genetic mutation spectrum of TCTN2 and is conducive to further clarifying the relationship between the genotype and phenotype of MKS8. Severe variants in the TCTN2 gene appear to be more likely to lead to MKS8. Clinically, the triad is an important basis for the diagnosis of MKS8, while other variable phenotypes of MKS8 can provide additional information for prenatal diagnosis. The combination of prenatal ultrasound and WES can provide a more comprehensive and accurate diagnosis of MKS8, which will greatly aid support for early intervention and treatment.

Abstract

This study further expands the genetic mutation spectrum of TCTN2 and is conducive to further clarifying the relationship between the genotype and phenotype of MKS8. Severe variants in the TCTN2 gene appear to be more likely to lead to MKS8. Clinically, the triad is an important basis for the diagnosis of MKS8, while other variable phenotypes of MKS8 can provide additional information for prenatal diagnosis. The combination of prenatal ultrasound and WES can provide a more comprehensive and accurate diagnosis of MKS8, which will greatly aid support for early intervention and treatment.
