    Abstract:
    Baraitser-Winter Cerebro-fronto-facial syndrome (BWCFF, OMIM #243310, #614583) is caused by a heterozygous gain-of-function mutation of ACTB and ACTG1 that encodes actin. The syndrome is characterized by striking facial features, structural brain abnormalities, ocular coloboma, hearing loss, cardiac defects, intellectual disabilities, short stature, and developmental delay. We report a two-year-old girl who had distinctive facial features, including hypertelorism, arched eyebrows, bilateral ptosis, short broad nose with a flat nasal tip, long philtrum, retrognathia, low-set ears, and a thin upper lip. In addition, she also exhibited short stature, pectus excavatum, developmental delay, brain malformation, and hearing loss. Targeted gene panel sequencing identified a de novo heterozygous missense variant c.826G>A (p.Glu276Lys) in ACTB This is the first Korean case of BWCFF with a novel mutation in ACTB.
