Neonatal Hydrocolpos in Bardet-Biedl Syndrome due to a Novel Frameshift Indel in the BBS10 Gene. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • - Hydrocolpos is a rare condition where the vagina becomes cystically dilated, often due to issues like an imperforate hymen or vaginal atresia, and can also relate to genetic disorders like Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS).
  • - A specific case involving neonatal hydrocolpos linked to BBS was studied, revealing a novel mutation in the BBS10 gene, highlighting the need for genetic testing in similar cases.
  • - It’s crucial for pediatric urologists to consider genetic conditions like BBS in neonates with hydrocolpos, as these can lead to serious complications like kidney issues and obesity.

Article Abstract

Introduction: Hydrocolpos, a rare condition characterized by cystic dilatation of the vagina, can arise from various etiologies, including isolated imperforate hymen and vaginal atresia. Genetic conditions, such as Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS), may also manifest with hydrocolpos as part of urogenital malformations.

Methods: We present a case of neonatal hydrocolpos associated with BBS. Sequencing of 19 BBS genes was performed to elucidate the genetic basis of the syndrome.

Results: Genetic analysis revealed a novel frameshift indel variant (c.1543_1546dup p.Thr516Argfs*7) in the BBS10 gene. This finding expands the spectrum of BBS mutations and underscores the importance of genetic evaluation in patients with hydrocolpos, particularly when associated with additional clinical features suggestive of syndromic etiology.

Conclusion: Pediatric urologists should maintain a high index of suspicion for underlying genetic conditions, including BBS, in neonates presenting with hydrocolpos, given the potential for more severe associated complications such as renal and retinal diseases, obesity, and polydactyly.
