Abstract

Abstract Background Hyperphosphatasia with mental retardation syndrome (HPMRS) is a recessive disorder characterized by high blood levels of alkaline phosphatase together with typical dysmorphic signs such as cleft palate, intellectual disability, cardiac abnormalities, and developmental delay. Genes involved in the glycosylphosphatidylinositol pathway and known to be mutated in HPMRS have never been characterized in the Lebanese population. Case presentation Herein, we describe a pair of monozygotic twins presenting with severe intellectual disability, distinct facial dysmorphism, developmental delay, and increased alkaline phosphatase level. Two individuals underwent whole exome sequencing followed by Sanger sequencing to confirm the co-segregation of the mutation in the consanguineous family. A biallelic loss of function mutation in PGAP3 was detected. Both patients were homozygous for the c.203delC (p.C68LfsX88) mutation and the parents were carriers confirming the founder effect of the mutation. High ALP serum levels confirmed the molecular diagnosis. Conclusion Our findings have illustrated the genomic profile of PGAP3-related HPMRS which is essential for targeted molecular and genetic testing. Moreover, we found previously unreported clinical findings such as hypodontia and skin hyperpigmentation. These features, together with the novel mutation expand the phenotypic and genotypic spectrum of this rare recessive disorder.
