A novel FZD6 mutation revealed the cause of cleft lip and/or palate in a Chinese family
摘要
Abstract
Cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P) is a most common craniofacial birth defect which has multifactorial etiology. In our study
we aimed to discover the underlying etiological gene variation in a Chinese family diagnosed as non-syndromic CL/P (NSCL/P). The blood sample of the proband and her parents were detected by whole exome sequencing. The Mendelian inheritance pattern
allele frequency
variation location
function analysis and literature search were applied to filtrate and screen the mutation. Besides
the candidates were confirmed by Sanger sequencing. We meanwhile explored the conservative analysis and protein homology simulation. As a result
a start-lost mutation c.1A
>
GAtg/Gtg in the Frizzled-6 (
FZD6
) gene predicting p.Met1 was detected. The variation has not been reported before and was predicted to be harmful. The alteration caused missing of two starting amino acids that are evolutionarily conserved for FZD6 protein. Moreover
the specific structure of the mutant protein obviously changed according to the results of the homologous model. In conclusion
the results suggest c.1A
>
GAtg/Gtg in the
FZD6
(NM_001164616) might be the genetic etiology for non-syndromic CL/P in this pedigree. Furthermore
Whole-exome sequencing of a multicenter cohort identifies genetic changes associated with clinical phenotypes in pediatric nephrotic syndrome
Identification of rare PTCH1 nonsense variant causing orofacial cleft in a Chinese family and an up-to-date genotype-phenotype analysis
