Abstract
CDG2L (MIM#614576) is an autosomal recessive multisystemic disorder due to variants in COG6 gene. Postnatal phenotypes are now well described, while prenatal presentations remain poorly investigated. Only 8 of the 28 published patients have had prenatal ultrasound anomalies reported and no one post-mortem investigation.We used whole-exome sequencing in a consanguineous Turkish family with four siblings presenting with Pierre Robin sequence, arthrogryposis, heart malformation, splenomegaly, hydrocephaly, corpus callosum dysgenesis, brainstem, and cerebellar hypoplasia.We identified a novel homozygous pathogenic variant in exon 9 of COG6 (NM_020751.2): c.821del, p.(Arg274Lysfs*32). In this family, our post-mortem study led us to describe further the prenatal phenotype of CDG2L. In addition, it permits correlating the most relevant anomalies to a maldevelopmental cascade due to a neurodegenerative process of metabolic origin, affecting the entire central nervous system including the spinal cord.In this context of recurrence of multisystemic disease diagnosed antenatally, exome sequencing is powerful to give a precise diagnosis and allows proposing a molecular prenatal diagnosis at the following pregnancy.
