Abstract
Germline or somatic gain-of-function mutations in the v-akt murine thymoma viral oncogene homolog 3 (AKT3) have been reported to cause syndromic megalencephaly. We describe a novel germline mutation, p.Glu40Lys, in AKT3. Phenotypically, the patient presented with megalencephaly with hypotonia, apparent connective tissue laxity, and growth hormone (GH) deficiency. To our knowledge, this is the first instance of a patient with megalencephaly with GH deficiency, harboring a germline de novo mutation in AKT3.Entities:
