To the Editor: Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a rare genetic disorder resulting from lack of expression of genes on the paternally inherited chromosome 15q11. 2-q13 region. It is characterized by hypotonia, feeding difficulty, hyperphagia, obesity, hypogonadism, developmental delay and cognitive impairment with a prevalence of 1/10000–1/30000 [1, 2]. PWS coincident with other chromosome abnormalities is rarely reported. Here, we report an 8-mo-old boy with PWS and DiGeorge syndrome (DS). He was born full-term by cesarean delivery as scarred uterus with a birth weight of 2.8 kg. After birth, he was hospitalized because of hypotonia and feeding difficulty, and nasogastric feeding for 26 d. He was hospitalized twice again because of pneumonia. He rose his head at about 3 mo and could not sit at 6 mo. His length and weight were 60 cm (< 3SD) and 5.8 kg at 8 mo (< 3SD), respectively. Dolichocephaly, small almond-shaped eyes, high palate, downturned corners of mouth, fair skin, hypotonia, oblique inguinal hernia, small hands and feet, left cryptorchidism and small penis were noted. Flow cytometry showed CD3+of 36.3%(normal range, 48%–75%), CD3+CD4+ 25.4%(normal range, 33%-58%), CD3+CD8+ of 8.4%(normal range, 11%–25%); CD3-CD19+ of 52.0%(normal range, 14%–39%) and CD3-(CD16+/CD56+) of 7.6%(normal range, 2%–14%). Acleistocardia was found. Calcium ion and phosphorus, thyroid function, parathyroid hormone, insulin-like growth factor-1, antibodies of TORCH, kidney function, blood gas and electrolytes, ammonia, lactic acid, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) screening and brain MRI were all normal or negative. MS-PCR showed hypermethylation in the SNRPN-S1 loci, while methylation-specific multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MS-MLPA) showed normal copy with higher methylation in the 15q11-q13 region, implying PWS. Meanwhile, chromosomal microarray (CMA) analysis showed a deletion of 2.54 Mb in 22q11. 21 (18919528-21460595), which covered the key region of DS. DS is a common microdeletion disease with an incidence of 1/3000–4000 newborns [3, 4]. However, to our knowledge, this is the first case reported with PWS coincident with DS. Typical features of DS (eg., hypocalcemia, renal anomalies and seizures)[4] were absent although the low T lymphocyte, recurrent pneumonia and inguinal hernia maybe more suggestive of DS features. He presented remarkable PWS features, including hypotonia, feeding difficulty, developmental delay, dysmorphic facies, fair skin, small hands and feet, cryptorchidism and small penis. This case highlighted that in patients with clinical features similar with PWS, PWS coincident with another chromosome abnormality should also be considered.
