Abstract

Gillespie syndrome is a rare, congenital disease that typically presents in childhood with cerebellar ataxia, aniridia, and intellectual disability. Since the first case was reported in the literature in 1965, recent studies have shown that the mutations in Gillespie patients occur in the 1,4,5- trisphosphate receptor type 1 (ITPR1) gene. In our study, we present the first case of genetically diagnosed Gillespie syndrome in a child who does not present with aniridia. This child of first-degree consanguineous parents presents with a novel homozygous mutation in the ITPR1 gene. In addition, her other symptoms are mild when compared to known Gillespie syndrome cases in the literature, and this is the first reported case of Gillespie syndrome in Lebanon and the Middle East. This underscores the importance of genetic testing when diagnosing neurological syndromes, and the potential for multivariable presentation of patients with such syndromes.

Exporter of Reprints (Printed Material)

  What is Reprints? Reprints generally refer to copies of a previously published work. The meaning can vary slightly depending on the context: In Publishing (Books, Journals, Articles): • Reprints are additional printed copies of an article or book that has already been published. • Authors often request reprints of their scientific or medical journal articles to distribute to colleagues, conferences, or patients. • Book reprints are new print runs of a previously released edition, often without changes. Example • A doctor publishes a case report in a journal and requests 500 reprints to distribute at a medical conference. • A publisher prints a second batch of an already released novel — that’s a reprint. Use of Reprints Published article hard copy and reprints may be used to display the potential of the article at interviews, conferences, distribution to colleagues, seminars and other promotional activities, etc. Exporter of Reprints (Printed Material) We are an ex...

Totally Implanted Venous Catheter: What Can Go Wrong? Clin Image Case Rep J. 2025; 7(5): 569. Abstract A 50-year-old woman with a BRCA1 mutation was diagnosed with triple-negative carcinoma of the left breast in 2022. To initiate neoadjuvant chemotherapy, a totally implanted subclavian catheter was inserted. After three months of use, it developed a thrombosis and had to be removed. A second catheter was then inserted into the left brachial vein. Immediately after placement, t...
