AIM:To reveal a novel MITF gene mutation in Waardenburg syndrome(WS),which is an autosomal dominant inherited neurogenic disorder that consists of various degrees of sensorineural deafness and pigmentary abnormalities in the eyes,hair and skin.METHODS:The genetic analysis of the Chinese family was conducted by whole-exome sequencing,then the results were confirmed by Sanger sequencing.RESULTS:WS is classified into type I to IV,which are identified by the W index,clinical characteristics and additional features.The MITF gene mostly accounts for WS type II.In this study,a de novo heterozygous mutation in the MITF gene,c.638 A>G in exon 7,was identified in the patient diagnosed with WS type I features,as the W index was 2.17(over 2.10),with dystrophia canthorum,congenital bilateral profound hearing loss,bilateral heterochromia irides,premature greying of the hair,and excessive freckling on the face at birth.She also underwent refractive errors and esotropia,reduced pigmentation of the choroid and visible choroid vessels.The mutation was not found in previous studies or mutation databases.CONCLUSION:The novel mutation in the MITF gene,which altered the protein in amino acids 213 from the glutamic acid to glycine,is the genetic pathological cause for WS features in the patient.Those characteristics of this family revealed a novel genetic heterogeneity of MITF in WS,which expanded the database of MITF mutations and offered a possible in correcting the W index value of WS in distinct ethnicities.Moreover,ocular symptoms should be emphasized in all types of WS patients. 展开更多
