Wolman disease is a very rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder. The patients have the typical clinical finding of hepatosplenomegaly but with an abnormal lipid profile of high levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), but a low level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). We report a 1-month-old boy with Wolman disease who had hepatosplenomegaly but with an atypical abnormal lipid profile of low TC level, and very low levels of both LDL-C and HDL-C. The genetic study revealed a compound heterozygous mutation of the LIPA gene, leading to the confirmed diagnosis of Wolman disease.

Alveolar capillary dysplasia with misalignment of the pulmonary veins (ACDMPV) is a rare congenital diffuse lung disorder, with a fatal course during the neonatal period. We describe an 18‐month‐old boy who presented with respiratory syncytial virus pneumonia and pulmonary hypertensive crisis requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Exome sequencing revealed a FOXF1 frameshift variant, NM_001451.2:c.995_998delACTC, inherited from his asymptomatic mother. Genetic findings were compatible with histopathology findings from a lung biopsy. Based on the disease course, histopathology, and outcomes of this case, we believe ACDMPV should be considered a possibility in an infant presenting with hypoxemic respiratory failure, resistant pulmonary hypertension, and vasodilator‐induced pulmonary edema. Genetic testing can contribute to the diagnostic process.

Ablepharon macrostomia syndrome (AMS) is a rare congenital disorder. To our knowledge, only 20 cases have been reported to date, and all in patients from Western countries. We report a case of AMS in a Thai patient, who presented at age 3 months with severe ectropion of both upper and lower eyelids, alopecia totalis, no palpable clitoris, and hypoplasia of both labia minora and labia majora. Trio whole exome sequencing analysis was performed, which revealed a heterozygous missense c.223G>A (p.Glu75Lys) variation in TWIST2. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of AMS in a patient from Thailand and the first reported case of AMS in Asia.
