Abstract
We report the case of a Spanish pediatric patient with developmental delay, hypotonia, feeding difficulties, visual problems, and hyperkinetic movements. Whole-exome sequencing uncovered a new heterozygous de novo Synaptotagmin 1 (SYT1) missense variant, NM_005639.3:c.930T[A (p.Asp310Glu), in a female proband. This gene encodes the synaptotagmin-1 (SYT1) protein, which is a component of a protein complex involved in the fusion of synaptic vesicles with the presynaptic membrane. Pathogenic SYT1 variants have been associated with Baker–Gordon syndrome (BAGOS), an autosomal dominant neurodevelopmental disorder. Although up to 30 cases have been identified worldwide, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first patient described with mitochondrial respiratory chain deficiencies and rod–cone dysfunction. In conclusion, our data expand both the genetic and phenotypic spectrum associated with SYT1 variants.
