A novel mutation of NFIX causes Sotos-like syndrome (Malan syndrome) complicated with thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection.

Malan syndrome has recently been characterized to present Sotos-like phenotypes, such as intellectual disability and macrocephaly, with mutations in the NFIX gene. Herein, we report a 38-year-old patient with a novel single adenine insertion mutation in exon 2 of the NFIX gene (c.290_291insA). He developed early-onset thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection, which was a rare complication but deserves particular attention in relatively long-lived patients with Sotos-like phenotypes.
