The reported congenital anomalies associated with NKH included corpus callosal agenesis, club foot, cleft palate, and congenital heart disease. Here, we report a newborn who presented with encephalopathy without overt seizures, cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, and cleft palate. Electroencephalography showed a burst suppression pattern, which suggests the etiology could be due to a metabolic or genetic disorder. The amino acid analysis of plasma and cerebrospinal fluid showed elevated glycine. Whole exome sequencing identified a heterozygous c.492C\u2009&amp;gt;\u2009G; p.Tyr164Ter variant in exon 4 of the <jats:italic>GLDC<\/jats:italic> gene inherited from the patient's father. Further long-read whole genome sequencing revealed an exon 1\u20132 deletion in the <jats:italic>GLDC<\/jats:italic> gene inherited from the patient's mother. Additional analyses revealed no pathogenic variants of the cleft palate\u2013related genes. The cleft palate may be an associated congenital anomaly in NKH. Regarding cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, we found a heterozygous variant (p.Arg189Trp) of the <jats:italic>PROC<\/jats:italic> gene, which is a common cause of thrombophilia among Thai newborns. A neonate with NKH could present with severe encephalopathy without seizures. A close follow up for clinical changes and further next generation sequencing are crucial for definite diagnosis in neonates with encephalopathy of unclear cause.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fped.2023.1155035","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,8]],"date-time":"2023-08-08T07:43:53Z","timestamp":1691480633000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Case
