This is the first reported case of a classical Mitchell-Riley syndrome in the Arab peninsula along with additional features and novel mutations in the RFX6 gene.
📌 3 Key Takeaways
🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Mitchell-Riley syndrome is a genetic disorder characterized by neonatal diabetes, pancreatic hypoplasia, intestinal atresia and/or malrotation, biliary atresia, and gallbladder aplasia or hypoplasia.
📊
Key Findings & Data:However, the genetic mutation in (regulatory factor X on chromosome 6) RFX6 was only detected in babies who had diabetes, making it different from the previously known mutations for the disease.
💡
Conclusion & Impact:This is the first reported case of a classical Mitchell-Riley syndrome in the Arab peninsula along with additional features and novel mutations in the RFX6 gene.

Abstract
Mitchell-Riley syndrome is a genetic disorder characterized by neonatal diabetes, pancreatic hypoplasia, intestinal atresia and/or malrotation, biliary atresia, and gallbladder aplasia or hypoplasia. It was considered a variant of the Martinez-Frias syndrome with similar phenotypic characteristics, except for neonatal diabetes and tracheoesophageal fistula. However, the genetic mutation in (regulatory factor X on chromosome 6) RFX6 was only detected in babies who had diabetes, making it different from the previously known mutations for the disease. This is the first reported case of a classical Mitchell-Riley syndrome in the Arab peninsula along with additional features and novel mutations in the RFX6 gene.
