MIRAGE syndrome is a recently identified disorder characterized by myelodysplasia, infection, restriction of growth, adrenal hypoplasia, genital phenotypes, and enteropathy. It is caused by a gain-of-function variant in the SAMD9 gene, but there is limited knowledge regarding the genotype-phenotype correlation. We herein report a Japanese patient with MIRAGE syndrome carrying a novel de novo heterozygous missense variant in the SAMD9 gene (c.4435 G > T; p. Ala1479Ser). MIRAGE syndrome (OMIM #617053) is a recently discovered disorder with multifaceted clinical features, including myelodysplasia, infection, restriction of growth, adrenal hypoplasia, genital phenotypes, and enteropathy 1. Additional associated features are developmental retardation, dysmorphism, chronic lung disease, and central nervous system abnormalities. MIRAGE syndrome is caused by a gain-of-function variant in the SAMD9 gene on the long arm of chromosome 7 (7q21.2), encoding sterile alpha motif domain-containing protein 9, which functions in endosome fusion and regulates cell growth in in vitro models 1,2. However, the precise mechanisms by which variants in the SAMD9 gene cause the MIRAGE phenotype are largely unknown. In addition, a wide range of phenotypes with a high mortality rate has been implicated with little understanding of the genotypephenotype correlation due to the paucity of genetically diagnosed subjects. Therefore, the accumulation of patient-based knowledge with underlying genetic information is essential to better understand the clinical outcome, its relation to genotype, and molecular insights of
