Background: Snijders Blok-Campeau syndrome (SNIBCPS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by facial abnormalities, hypotonia, macrocephaly, and global developmental delay (GDD) caused by mutations in gene. There is limited information on SNIBCPS and few studies on its pathogenic gene .
Methods: We utilized whole-exome sequencing, minigene splicing assay analysis, and construction of protein models to validate the suspected pathogenic mutation. In addition, the PubMed database was searched using the keywords "Snijders Blok-Campeau syndrome," "," or "SNIBCPS" to summarize the gene mutations and clinical phenotypic characteristics of children with SNIBCPS.
Results: We identified a non-frameshift variant c.3592_c.3606delGCCAAGAGAAAGATG, a splice site variant c.1708-1G>T, and two missense variants, c. 2954G>C (p.Arg985Pro) and c.3371C>T (p.A1124V), in variants with SNIBCPS. Importantly, the c.3592_c.3606delGCCAAGAGAAAGATG, c.1708-1G>T, and c.3371C > T (p.A1124V) loci were not reported, and the children in this study also had phenotypic features of unibrow, transverse palmar creases, tracheal bronchus, and hypomelanosis of Ito (HI). The c.1708-1G>T classical splicing mutation leads to abnormal shearing of mRNA, forming a truncated protein that ultimately affects gene function.
Conclusion: Our findings have expanded the spectrum of genetic variants and clinical features in children with SNIBCPS. Splicing analysis of is an important method to understand the pathogenesis of spliced cells.

The Chromodomain Helicase DNA-binding (CHD) protein family is ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling proteins that utilize energy produced by ATP hydrolysis to regulate chromatin structure and thereby modulate gene expression. The earliest report of a CHD3 gene mutation was by O'Roak, who found it during whole exome sequencing of 189 autism families in 2012. In 2018, Snijders Blok systematically assessed the autosomal dominant neurodevelopmental disorder caused by CHD3 gene damage, known as Snijders Blok-Campeau syndrome (SNIBCPS, OMIM 618205).

Snijders Blok-Campeau syndrome (SNIBCPS, OMIM#618205) is an autosomal dominant neurodevelopmental disorder attributed to pathogenic variants in the chromodomain helicase DNA binding protein 3 (CHD3) gene. To date, more than 100 individuals have been diagnosed with SNIBCPS. The syndrome is characterized by intellectual disability, global developmental delay, speech or language impediments, and dysmorphic features associated with macrocephaly.

Introduction: Nongoitrous congenital hypothyroidism-6 (CHNG6) is a thyroid hormone resistance syndrome caused by a thyroid hormone receptor alpha () gene mutation, characterized by tissue-specific hypothyroidism and near-normal thyroid function tests. Snijders Blok-Campeau syndrome (SNIBCPS) is a rare autosomal dominant neurodevelopmental disorder caused by mutations in genes, characterized by intellectual retardation, hypotonia, speech problems, and distinctive facial findings.
Case Presentation: We report a 3-year-old dual phenotype Turkish girl with novel variants both in the and genes, presenting with developmental delay, hypotonia, and congenital hypothyroidism.

Objective: To explore the genetic basis for a patient with unexplained developmental delay and special facial features.
Methods: A male patient admitted to the Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital of Gansu Province on May 27, 2021 due to infertility was selected as the study subject. Clinical data of the patient was collected, and genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples from the patient and his parents.
