Comment to the Committee

1- When was the baby girl (participant in the study) born?

2- Generally, ethical approval is not required for a single case report.

While case reports are typically descriptive, focusing on a single patient's experience rather than following a systematic research protocol, consulting the Research Ethics Committee (REC) is always advisable for an extra layer of protection. Here are three key considerations:

Patient and both parents' Consent: is Crucial. the researcher must obtain informed consent from the patient (or legal guardian) before publishing any identifiable details. This ensures patient privacy and autonomy.

Journal Requirements: Some journals might require a statement about ethical considerations even for case reports. Check the specific journal's guidelines for submission.

Sensitive Information: If the case report involves sensitive information about the patient's condition or identity. (Genetics)
