Cockayne syndrome is a rare inherited DNA repair multisystemic disorder. Here, we aim to raise awareness of the phenotypic resemblances between Cockayne syndrome and the neurodevelopmental disorder caused by pathogenic variants in MORC2, a gene also involved in DNA repair. Using exome sequencing, we identified a de novo pathogenic variant in MORC2 in our patient. Our patient's phenotype was characterized by multiple features evocative of Cockayne syndrome. Based on our patient's phenotype, in addition to the phenotypic description of patients with pathogenic variants in MORC2 reported in the literature, we suggest that pathogenic variants in this gene are associated with a Cockayne-like phenotype.
