Abstract:
:Baraitser-Winter syndrome was first described as a syndrome of iris coloboma, ptosis, hypertelorism, and mental retardation (Baraitser and Winter 1988; Baraitser, 2016). The phenotypic spectrum has since broadened to include other facial dysmorphic features, deafness, microcephaly, lissencephaly, and CNS findings (Baraitser and Winter 1988; Ganesh et al., 2005; Henedy et al., 2010; Verloes et al., 2015). The syndrome is due to pathogenic variants on either ACTB or ACTG1 genes (Di Donato et al., 2014; Rivière et al., 2012). There is still discussion which gene variant produces a more severe phenotype (Di Donato et al., 2016; Di Donato et al., 2014; Verloes et al., 2015). We report a 3-year-old girl with short stature, mild global developmental delay, minor brain anomalies and few dysmorphic features including unusual stroma of the irises and unreported corectopia. Exome sequencing reported a de novo likely pathogenic variant on the ACTB gene. The present report adds a new ocular finding to the phenotypic spectrum.
