Genetic Diagnosis and Identification of a Novel De Novo RELA Variant in Familial Behçet-like Autoinflammatory Syndrome Type 3: A Case Report
摘要
To perform genetic diagnosis and pedigree analysis in a case of autosomal dominant Familial Behçet-like Autoinflammatory Syndrome type 3 (AIFBL3) caused by a novel RELA variant.
MethodsPeripheral blood samples collected from the proband and parents underwent conventional genetic screening, next-generation sequencing (NGS), and Sanger sequencing for familial validation.
ResultsA de novo heterozygous RELA variant (NM_021975.4:c.539 C > T, p.Ser180Phe) was identified in the proband. Parental testing confirmed its de novo origin.
ConclusionThe RELA c.539 C > T variant was classified as likely pathogenic for AIFBL3, providing a basis for genetic counseling. In future pregnancies, prenatal diagnosis through targeted familial mutation analysis could be offered to this family to inform reproductive decision-making.
