RESUMO
Xia-Gibbs syndrome (XGS) is a rare neurological disorder characterized by global developmental delay, hypotonia, intellectual disability, seizures, and sleep apnea. XGS is defined by monoallelic pathogenic variants in AHDC1. In this study, we identified a Brazilian patient carrying a likely de novo AHDC1 nonsense mutation (c.451C>T; p.Arg151*) which was absent in both parents. All disease-causative variants already associated with XGS have been reviewed and the mutation described here corresponds to the closest one to the N-terminal region. Our findings were discussed based on the suggested genotype-phenotype correlation of the disease.
