Identification of rare PTCH1 nonsense variant causing orofacial cleft in a Chinese family and an up-to-date genotype-phenotype analysis
摘要
Abstract
The Patched 1 (
PTCH1
) gene encodes a membrane receptor involved in the Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway
an abnormal state of which may result in congenital defects or human tumors. In this study
we conducted whole-exome sequencing on a three-generation Chinese family characterized with variable penetrance of orofacial clefts. A rare heterozygous variant in the
PTCH1
gene (c.2833C
>
T p.R945X) was identified as a disease-associated mutation. Structural modeling revealed a truncation starting from the middle of the second extracellular domain of PTCH1 protein. This may damage its ligand recognition and sterol transportation abilities
thereby affecting the Hh signaling pathway. Biochemical assays indicated that the R945X protein had reduced stability compared to the wild-type
in vitro
. In addition
we reviewed the locations and mutation types of
PTCH1
variants in individuals with clefting phenotypes
and analyzed the associations between clefts and locations or types of variants within
PTCH1
. Our findings provide further evidence that
PTCH1
variants result in orofacial clefts
and contributed to genetic counseling and clinical surveillance in this family.
