Published: January 2019

BACKGROUND 3-M syndrome is an uncommon disease characterized by severe growth retardation, dysmorphic features, and skeletal abnormalities. Radiographic images may show delayed bone maturation long slender tubular bones, and tall vertebral bodies. Due to the inheritance mode of 3-M syndrome disease, early diagnosis is vital for genetic counseling. CASE REPORT In this case report, we present the case of a 3-year-old male patient who was referred to our clinic for development assessment due to delayed development, particularly speech, who had clinical outcomes of 3-M syndrome. CONCLUSIONS The aim of the case report is to add this new patient to the literature on 3-M syndrome.

Unlabelled: 3 M syndrome is a well-known autosomal recessive skeletal genetic disorder caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in the CUL7, OBSL1, and CCDC8 genes. Affected individuals exhibit profound pre- and postnatal growth retardation, distinctive facial features with normal intelligence. This study aims to provide insight into the comprehensive evaluation of clinical, laboratory, and radiological findings, expand the mutational spectrum of the disease, and establish a genotype-phenotype correlation in the present cases.

OMIM 273750 (3-M) syndrome is a rare cause of severe short stature with variable dysmorphic features caused by pathogenic variants in several genes including cullin7 gene (). Hypogonadism and hypospadias have been described in only a few males. We report a patient with 7 pathogenic variant who had bifid scrotum and perineal hypospadias at birth.

3M syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by short stature and skeletal developmental abnormalities. A Chinese girl with 3M syndrome and a novel (obscurin-like 1 gene) variant is presented. The patient is a 2-year-old girl who presented with short stature and had intrauterine growth retardation and low birth weight.

Background: 3 M syndrome is first reported in 1975,which characterized by severe pre- and postnatal growth retardation, skeletal malformation and facial dysmorphism. These three genes (CUL7, OBSL1 and CCDC8) have been identified to be respond for 3 M syndrome, of which CUL7 is accounting for approximately 70%. To date, the molecular mechanism underlying the pathogenesis of 3 M syndrome remains poorly understood.

Article Synopsis
  • 3M syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that causes growth deficiencies and distinct facial features, typically diagnosed through genetic testing for specific mutations in the CUL7, OBSL1, or CCDC8 genes.
  • In a case study, a Chinese couple faced challenges with an abnormal pregnancy showing 3M phenotypes; whole-exome sequencing revealed two new mutations in the CUL7 gene as potential causes.
  • After genetic counseling, the couple chose preimplantation genetic testing to reduce the risk of having another child affected by 3M syndrome, leading to the successful birth of a healthy baby.
