A Preterm Infant with Feeding Aspiration Diagnosed with BOR Syndrome, Confirmed Case by Whole-Genome Sequencing and Structural Variant Calling

Branchiootorenal (BOR) syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant inherited disease with a prevalence of approximately 1 in 40,000 newborns. This disease is characterized by hearing loss, preauricular pits, branchial fistulas or cysts, and renal dysplasia. We discovered a case of BOR syndrome in a premat...

description Branchiootorenal (BOR) syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant inherited disease with a prevalence of approximately 1 in 40,000 newborns. This disease is characterized by hearing loss, preauricular pits, branchial fistulas or cysts, and renal dysplasia. We discovered a case of BOR syndrome in a premature 2-week-old female infant with a gestational age of 32 weeks and two days. She and her family had major symptoms and a family history of BOR. BOR syndrome was confirmed by whole-genome sequencing and structural variant calling, which revealed an <i>EYA1</i> exon 5–6 deletion. The infant had recurrent sleep and feeding cyanosis with second branchial anomalies. Via videofluoroscopic swallowing study and a modified barium swallow test, penetration into the vocal cords was observed before and during swallowing when bottle feeding. This is the first report of a preterm infant early diagnosed with BOR syndrome in which deletion margin was accurately identified by whole-genome sequencing and structural variant calling in Republic of Korea.
