Abstract [en]

Sotos syndrome belongs to the group of diseases characterised by features such as facial dysmorphism, intellectual disability, hypotonia and overgrowth. Usually, Sotos syndrome is caused by heterozygous mutations in the NSD1 gene at chromosome 5q35 or by large genomic deletions of the same region. Genotype-phenotype correlations have mainly been reported as an association of significant or major abnormalities and presence of 5q35 deletions rather than intragenic deletions or point mutations in NSD1. The congenital hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia (CHI) has been described as an uncommon feature in the presentation of Sotos syndrome. Most of the patients with Sotos syndrome and transient CHI were carriers of 5q35 deletions while persistent CHI has been recently reported in individuals with point mutations or small NSD1 deletions. We report the clinical features and medical treatment in a new-born child with Sotos syndrome and CHI that was present for almost two years. Genetic cause of Sotos syndrome in this case was a novel, large genomic deletion encompassing 24 OMIM genes including the entire NSD1 gene and 6 other Morbid genes. Our report shows challenges in diagnostics and management of this rare genetic condition. We propose, that in neonatal diagnostics, the phenotypic spectrum of Sotos syndrome should include CHI as a characteristic feature and molecular genetic testing should be done by whole genome analysis.
