Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) is a rare disease characterized by synophrys, long eyelashes, limb abnormalities, generalized hirsutism, growth retardation, and intellectual disability. In both WDSTS and CdLS, the malformations are due to transcriptome disturbance caused by defects in the genes encoding the components of chromatin regulation and transcription process. The overlapping features in these two syndromes may complicate the original diagnosis of a patient. Here, we report on a Wiedemann-Steiner patient found to have a de novo pathogenic KMT2A variation who had been clinically suspected as CdLS. We suggest that targeted next-generation sequencing is a feasible tool for the precise diagnosis of patients who have phenotypically and clinically overlapping features of CdLS and WDSTS.en10.1159/000511971info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessDe Novo MutationKMT2ATargeted Next-Generation SequencingWiedemann-Steiner SyndromePathogenic VariantKmt2aArticle1214651Q4WOS:0005954530000012-s2.0-8509741781633776627Q4
