We report a female infant with a karyotype of 46,XX,der(9)t(9;18)(p22.2;q21.32)pat and the phenotypic features of craniofacial dysmorphisms, developmental delay, hypotonia, horizontal nystagmus, strabismus, congenital heart defects, clubfoot, and anorectal malformations with an anterior ectopic anus and a stenosed anal opening. Array comparative genomic hybridization revealed a 16.93-Mb deletion at 9p24.3-p22.2 encompassing the FREM1 gene and a 20.43-Mb duplication at 18q21.32-q23 encompassing the PIGN gene. We speculate that dual genome imbalances in FREMI at 9p22.3 and in PIGN at 18q21.3 are most likely responsible for the abnormal development of anorectum in this patient.

Vertical nystagmus is a known clinical feature, is however rarely observed in a specific neurodevelopmental disorder. Based on our experience with Polish patients with glycosylphosphatidylinositol biosynthesis defects (GPIBD) due to PIGN variants, supported by literature review, we have verified the clinical significance of this feature in PIGN-related disorder. We hope to underline the clinical implication of vertical nystagmus in the evaluation of patients with developmental encephalopathy with epilepsy, which may accelerate the neurological diagnosis process by orientating it towards PIGN-GPIBD.
