Variants in the CSNK2B gene are known to cause Poirier–Bienvenuneurodevelopmental syndrome (POBINDS). Since its first report in 2017, nearly 100cases have been documented. Epileptic seizures and intellectual disabilities are coresymptoms of POBINDS. While the CSNK2B genotype and phenotype exhibitincreasing diversity, the genotype-phenotype correlation remains unclear. In thisstudy, we identified a novel CSNK2B heterozygous mutationNM_001320.7:c.268A>C (p.Thr90Pro) in a child with Jeavons syndrome,classifiedas a likely pathogenic under ACMG guidelines . Computational analyses predictedthat the change of c.268A > C (p. Thr90Pro) might have an impact on the stability ofthe protein. This pathogenic mutation enriches the spectrum of CSNK2B genemutations and suggests that CSNK2B may be a causative gene for Jeavons syndrome.
