Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Opitz G/BBB syndrome is characterized by midline abnormalities such as hypertelorism, cleft palate, and hypospadias. This syndrome is heterogeneous with an X-linked recessive form caused by mutations in the MID1 gene at band Xp22.3. However, mutations in MID1 have only been identified in 47% of familial cases of X-linked Opitz G/BBB syndrome, and 13% of sporadic cases. We performed a phenotype-genotype analysis of a group of nine new patients with clinical characteristics commonly seen in Opitz G/BBB syndrome, and of previously reported patients. We identified a novel mutation in exon 9 of the MID1 gene, c.1941insTGAGTCATCATCC, leading to a premature termination codon at amino acid 514 in a patient with hypertelorism, apparently low-set ears, a short philtrum, bilateral cleft of lip and palate and hypospadias. This mutation affects the PRY domain of the C-terminus of the MID1 protein.
