Prenatal Identification of a Missense Mutation of the L1CAM Gene Associated With Hydrocephalus Using Next-Generation Sequencing.
Curēus 2024 Februrary
We present the case of a 35-year-old pregnant woman who visited our department for a routine ultrasonography screening scan for fetus anatomy during the 22nd week of gestation. Our report revealed a male fetus with marked hydrocephalus and severe intrauterine growth retardation. After extensive counseling, the couple decided to proceed with an invasive diagnosis via amniocentesis. The cytogenetic analysis showed findings related to clinical history and ultrasound findings related to the presence of a nucleotide change in c.578T>C with an amino acid change in p.Leu198Pro of the L1CAM gene. The result was reported as a hemizygote missense L1CAM gene variant of unknown significance. After extensive parental counseling, the couple decided on pregnancy termination. We report the present case of L1CAM mutation in p.Leu198Pro to add to the limited knowledge regarding the clinical presentation of mutations of the L1CAM gene with emphasis on prenatal diagnosis.
