    Abstract:
    TRAPPC9 loss-of-function biallelic variants are associated with an autosomal recessive intellectual disability syndrome (Online Mendelian Inheritance of Man no. 613192), also characterized by microcephaly, hypertelorism, obesity, growth delay, and behavioral differences. Here, we describe an 8-year-old Hispanic female with neurodevelopmental disorder, partial epilepsy, microcephaly, bilateral cleft lip and alveolus, growth delay, and dysmorphic features. She had abnormal myelination, mega cisterna magna, and colpocephaly on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Microarray showed a single ~146 Mb region of homozygosity (ROH) encompassing all of Chromosome 8, consistent with uniparental isodisomy (UPD). Exome sequencing performed in-house did not identify single nucleotide variants to explain her phenotype. Algorithms developed in-house and further evaluation of BAM files revealed a homozygous deletion overlapping Exon 2 in TRAPPC9 within the ROH. Subsequent del/dup analyses with exon-level oligo array confirmed a likely pathogenic deletion in TRAPPC9 (NM_031466.5): arr[GRCh37] 8q24.3(141460661_141461780)x0. Our case highlights the implications of downstream analyses from UPD/ROH given the increased risk for AR conditions, the strengths of combining orthologous molecular methods to establish a diagnosis and further delineates the TRAPPC9-related phenotype in an individual of Hispanic ancestry.
