Abstract
AbstractNeu–Laxova's syndrome (NLS) is a rare group of congenital malformations comprising intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR), central nervous system malformations, microcephaly, facial anomalies, ichthyosis, generalized edema, limb abnormalities, polyhydramnios, and perinatal death. We hereby report a fetus at 25 weeks' gestation with IUGR, facial and limb anomalies, and smooth brain detected on antenatal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging of fetus and confirmed by autopsy. Next-generation sequencing analysis identified a novel homozygous missense mutation in PHGDH gene. Only 35 cases of NLS with genetic etiology have been reported. This is the first case report of mutation in PHGDH from India.
