Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To study the clinical characteristics and genetic variants in a family with non-immune hydrops fetalis. METHODS: Peripheral blood samples were collected from a pregnant woman with suspected non-immune hydrops fetalis of the fetus for routine blood analysis, Rh typing and TORCH test. Amniotic fluid sample was collected for G-banded chromosomal karyotyping. The genomic DNA of the proband was extracted for analysis of chromosomal abnormalities using copy number variation sequencing. Whole-exome sequencing (Trios-WES) was performed on Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform and exonic DNA was enriched using Agilent Sure Select XT Human All Exon V6. Sorting intolerant from tolerant (SIFT), I-mutant2, PolyPhen-2 and PROVEAN were used to predict the potential effects of amino acid substitution on protein function and splicing variation. The spatial structure of codanin-1 was modeled and visualized with Alpha Fold 2 and PyMOL 2.3 software, and the variants with potential clinical significance were confirmed by Sanger sequencing. RESULTS: Fetal ultrasound at 17 weeks of gestation showed extensive subcutaneous edema, ascites, pleural effusion, enlarged liver and spleen, thickened placenta and pericardium defect. NGS reveals that proband has carried c.2140C>T, p.R714W, and c.1264_1265delCT, p.L422* compound heterozygous variants of CDAN1 gene, which were found to be pathogenic and inherited from proband's father and mother respectively. CONCLUSION: We identified a novel heterozygous CDAN1 gene mutation causing fetal-onset congenital dyserythropoietic anemia type 1, which triggers non-immune hydrops fetalis.
