Abstract
A neonate presenting with GRACILE syndrome and Bjornstadphenotype associated with BCSIL mutation: GRACILE Syndrome, is an autosomal recessive disease presenting with growth retardation, severe lactic acidosis, Fanconi type (ubulopathy, cholestasis, iron overload and early death without any dysmorphologica! or neurological features. The BCSIL gene mutation is responsible for GRACILE syndrome, Bjornstad syndrome and complex III deficiency. Bjornstad syndrome is characterized by sensorineural hearing loss and abnormal flat twisted hair shafts. The case is GRACILE syndrome with Bjornstad phenotype in neonatal period due to BCSL1 gene mutation.
