Two Consecutive Pregnancies with Simpson-Golabi-Behmel Syndrome Type 1: Case Report and Review of Published Prenatal Cases.

Fetal overgrowth and numerous congenital malformations can be detected in every trimester of pregnancy. New technologies in molecular testing, such as chromosomal microarray analysis and next-generation sequencing, continually demonstrate advantages for definitive diagnosis in fetal life. Simpson-Golabi-Behmel (SGB) syndrome is a rare but well-known overgrowth condition that is rarely diagnosed in the prenatal setting. We report 3 cases of SGB syndrome in 2 consecutive pregnancies. In our series, distinctive prenatal sonographic findings led to molecular diagnosis. Exome sequencing from fetal DNA revealed a hemizygous splice site variant in the GPC3 gene: NM_004484.3:c.1166+ 1G>T. The mother is a heterozygous carrier. We also provide an overview of the previously published 57 prenatal cases of SGB syndrome with prevalence estimation of the symptoms to aid prenatal differential diagnosis of fetal overgrowth syndromes.
