Popis: Grange syndrome (OMIM 602531) is an autosomal recessive condition characterized by severe early onset vascular occlusive disease and variable penetrance of brachydactyly, syndactyly, bone fragility, and learning disabilities. Grange syndrome is caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous loss-of-function variants in the YYA1P1 gene. We report on the case of a 53-year old female with novel homozygous missense variants in YYA1P1 (c.1079C>T, p.Pro360Leu), presenting with a history of brachysyndactyly, hypertension, and ischemic stroke. Imaging studies revealed stenosis of the bilateral internal carotid with extensive collateralization of cerebral vessels in a moyamoya-like pattern, along with stenosis in the splenic, common hepatic, celiac, left renal, and superior mesenteric arteries. Functional studies conducted with the patient's dermal fibroblasts suggest that the p.Pro360Leu variant decreases the stability of the YY1AP1 protein. This is the first report of a missense variant associated with Grange syndrome characterized by later onset of vascular disease and a lack of developmental delay and bone fragility.
