Abstract:
Jansen-de Vries syndrome, also known as intellectual developmental disorder with gastrointestinal difficulties and high pain threshold, is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by multisystem involvement. This article reports the case of a young child who presented with global developmental delay, gastrointestinal dysfunction, intellectual disability, and short stature. Distinct facial features included a broad forehead, low nasal bridge, thin upper lip, and widely spaced and misaligned teeth. Additional phenotypic findings involved small hands and feet, as well as digital anomalies. Through whole-exome sequencing (WES) and copy number variation (CNV) analysis, a pathogenic variant was identified in the
PPM1D gene: c.1281G > A (p.Trp427Ter). This report also reviews the current literature on the clinical characteristics, diagnostic approaches, and therapeutic advances related to this condition, aiming to provide valuable insights for its clinical diagnosis and management.
