RESUMO
In 2017, Mattiolli et al. and Yan et al. described a series of patients with clinical findings essentially characterized by intellectual disabilities, ptosis, hypotonia, epilepsy, and weakness. They also found in these patients distinct heterozygous mutations in the BRPF1 gene, which plays a role in epigenetic regulation by promoting histone acetylation. The disease is known as Intellectual Developmental Disorder with Dysmorphic Facies and Ptosis (IDDDFP, OMIM #617333). Later, another 20 patients were also described by distinct reports, suggesting IDDDFP could be a more frequent cause of intellectual disability as it was thought before. Here, we describe a patient with normal intellectual development who had congenital ptosis, hypotonia, muscular weakness, atlanto-axial malformation, and pyramidal at the neurological examination. The patient has a rare nonsense variant on exon 3 of BRPF1 gene. We also describe a phenotypic amplification for conditions related to deficiency in histone modifications.
