Case Report: Dual molecular diagnosis in complex congenital heart disease in an Ecuadorian patient with supravalvar aortic stenosis and pulmonary valve stenosis carrying pathogenic variants in ELN and BRAF gene
To present a case of an Ecuadorian girl with congenital supravalvar aortic stenosis and pulmonary valve stenosis, identifying genetic variants associated with these conditions and their potential implications.
Approach:
Case Presentation: An Ecuadorian girl was evaluated for congenital heart disease, underwent surgical correction, and had genomic analysis revealing pathogenic variants in ELN and BRAF, with the surgical outcomes noted.
Key Findings:
Pathogenic variants in ELN and BRAF were identified in the patient.
The case highlights the potential role of genetic testing in understanding complex congenital heart diseases.
Ancestry analysis revealed a diverse genetic background in the patient.
Interpretation:
The findings indicate a multilocus genetic contribution to the patient's congenital heart condition.
Limitations:
Causality cannot be established from a single case report.
Further evidence is required to understand the biological implications of the identified variants in the context of congenital heart disease.
Conclusion:
Comprehensive genomic evaluation can enhance the understanding of congenital heart diseases and support precision medicine approaches.
