Thurston syndrome with thalassaemia: a rare case devising a novel molecular and phenotypic variation.
BMJ Case Reports 2023 December 31
A male infant presented with progressive paleness of the body since 3 months of age. On examination, the child had pallor, microcephaly with dysmorphic facies (depressed nasal bridge, low set ears, retrognathia, high arched palate and tongue hamartoma). Postaxial polydactyly in bilateral hands and feet, broad great toes, with syndactyly of left fourth and fifth toes were present. The haemogram showed severe anaemia with a microcytic hypochromic picture. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was normal. However, the parents' HPLC was suggestive of beta thalassaemia trait. Whole-exome sequencing revealed Thurston syndrome with beta-thalassaemia in homozygous pattern with a novel mutation. It is a rare genetic syndrome exclusively found in the South Asian population. Due to the rarity, identification of this syndrome is often difficult and requires awareness among clinicians. However, it is important to diagnose the disorder accurately in order to provide appropriate genetic counselling and prognostication to the parents.
