dc.description.abstract | Background Trichohepatoenteric syndrome (THES) is characterized by neonatal-onset intractable diarrhea. It often requires long-term total parenteral nutrition (TPN). In addition, other characteristic findings of the syndrome include growth retardation, facial dysmorphism, hair abnormalities, various immunological problems and other rare system findings. Two genes and their associated pathogenic variants have been associated with this syndrome: SKIC3 and SKIC2. Methods and results In this case series, the clinical findings and molecular analysis results of a total of 8 patients from 5 different families who presented with persistent diarrhea and were diagnosed with THES were shared. Pathogenic variants were detected in the SKIC3 gene in 6 of our patients and in the SKIC2 gene in 2 patients. It was planned to compare the clinical findings of our patients with other patients, together with literature data, and to present yet-undefined phenotypic features that may be related to THES. In our case series, in addition to our patients with a novel variant, patient number 2 had a dual phenotype (THES and Spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia, sponastrime type) that has not been reported yet. Delay in gross motor skills, mild cognitive impairment, radioulnar synostosis, osteoporosis, nephropathy and cystic lesions (renal and liver) were observed as unreported phenotypic findings. Conclusions We are expanding the clinical and molecular repertoire of the syndrome regarding patients diagnosed with THES. We recommend that the NGS (next-generation sequencing) multigene panel should be used as a diagnostic tool in cases with persistent diarrhea. | en_US |
