Abstract
Periventricular nodular heterotopia (PNH) is a malformation of cortical development in which normal neurons inappropriate-ly cluster in periventricular areas. Patients with Mowat?Wilson syndrome (MWS) typically present with facial gestalt, complex neurologic problems (e.g., severe developmental delay with marked speech impairment and epilepsy), and multiple anoma-lies (e.g., Hirschsprung disease, urogenital anomalies, congenital heart defects, eye anomalies, and agenesis of the corpus cal-losum [CC]). MWS is mostly caused by haploinsuf?ciency of the gene encoding zinc-?nger E-box-binding homeobox 2 (ZEB2) due to premature stops or large deletions. We present a case report of a 9-year-old girl with PNH, drug-responsive epilepsy, severe intellectual disability, and facial dysmorphisms only in whom we performed whole-exome sequencing and found a de novo heterozygous missense mutation (c.3134A>C; p.His1045Pro) of ZEB2 (NM_014795.3; NP_055610.1). This mild case of MWS caused by a rare novel missense mutation of ZEB2 represents the ?rst report of MWS with isolated PNH.
