The finding of an association between genetic variation at the transforming growth-factor alpha (TGFA) locus and nonsyndromic isolated cleft palate (CP) represents a potentially important breakthrough in our understanding of this condition. The present study was undertaken to assess the feasibility of detecting linkage to putative CP-susceptibility loci, such as TGFA. To this end, the familial recurrence pattern for CP was evaluated to determine the most likely mode of inheritance for this condition. The study took advantage of the high ascertainment and uniform registration of CP in Denmark. In addition, the study utilized estimates of familial recurrence that were obtained by register linkage and, hence, were not subject to either recall bias or the potentially biasing influence of nonresponders. The recurrence risks for first-, second-, and third-degree relatives of 1,364 nonsyndromic CP probands were estimated to be 2.74% (72/2,628), 0.28% (3/1,068), and 0.00% (0/360), respectively. These estimates are close to published estimates based on questionnaire and interview data. The population prevalence for nonsyndromic CP was, however, found to be considerable higher than usually reported (0.058% [1,456/2,523,023]). Analyses of these and previously published data, using the method presented by Risch, indicated that major-locus or additive multilocus inheritance of CP is unlikely. The familial recurrence pattern was, however, consistent with CP being determined by several interacting loci. Under such a model, a single locus accounting for more than a sixfold increase in the risk to first-degree relatives of CP probands is unlikely, whereas a single locus accounting for a threefold increase provided a good fit to the data. Such a locus could be detected in a realistic sample of affected sib pairs. 相似文献

Split-hand/foot malformation (SHFM) is a rare condition which can be either syndromic or nonsyndromic. We report three unrelated pedigrees, one with autosomal dominant (AD) inheritance and the other two with autosomal recessive (AR) pattern. We also briefly review the published reports from India. 相似文献

Nonsyndromic cleft lip and palate (CLP) is among the most common human birth defects. Transmission patterns suggest that the causes are "multifactorial" combinations of genetic and nongenetic factors, mostly distinct from those causing cleft secondary palate (CP). The major etiological factors are largely unknown, and the embryological mechanisms are not well understood. In contrast to CP or neural tube defects (NTD), CLP is uncommon in mouse mutants. Fourteen known mutants or strains express CLP, often as part of a severe syndrome, whereas nonsyndromic CLP is found in two conditional mutants and in two multifactorial models based on a hypomorphic variant with an epigenetic factor. This pattern suggests that human nonsyndromic CLP is likely caused by regulatory and hypomorphic gene variants, and may also involve epigenetics. The developmental pathogenic mechanism varies among mutants and includes deficiencies of growth of the medial, lateral or maxillary facial prominences, defects in the fusion process itself, and shifted midline position of the medial prominences. Several CLP mutants also have NTD, suggesting potential genetic overlap of the traits in humans. The mutants may reflect two interacting sets of genetic signaling pathways: Bmp4, Bmpr1a, Sp8, and Wnt9b may be in one set, and Tcfap2a and Sox11 may be in another. Combining the results of chromosomal linkage studies of unidentified human CLP genes with insights from the mouse models, the following previously unexamined genes are identified as strong candidate genes for causative roles in human nonsyndromic CLP: BMP4, BMPR1B, TFAP2A, SOX4, WNT9B, WNT3, and SP8. 相似文献

Acro-cardio-facial syndrome (ACFS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by split-hand/split-foot malformation (SHFM), facial anomalies, cleft lip/palate, congenital heart defect (CHD), genital anomalies, and mental retardation. Up to now, 9 patients have been described, and most of the reported cases were not surviving the first days or months of age. The spectrum of defects occurring in ACFS is wide, and both interindividual variability and clinical differences among sibs have been reported. The diagnosis is based on clinical criteria, since the genetic mechanism underlying ACFS is still unknown. The differential diagnosis includes other disorders with ectrodactyly, and clefting conditions associated with genital anomalies and heart defects. An autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance has been suggested, based on parental consanguinity and disease's recurrence in sibs in some families. The more appropriate recurrence risk of transmitting the disease for the parents of an affected child seems to be up to one in four. Management of affected patients includes treatment of cardiac, respiratory, and feeding problems by neonatal pediatricians and other specialists. Prognosis of ACFS is poor. 相似文献

The malformation of nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL/P) is a common congenital disease that affects approximately 1/1000 newborns in Caucasian populations. Genetic studies indicate that CL/P has the characteristics of a complex genetic trait. Linkage analysis and mouse-model knockout studies have suggested several candidate genes mapping in different chromosome regions for CL/P malformation. On these grounds, we have investigated, by linkage disequilibrium (LD) and parametric and nonparametric linkage analyses, five different candidate genes, including those for the beta3 subunit of the gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor (GABRB3), glutamic acid decarboxylase 1 (GAD1), retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARA), transforming growth factor beta3 (TGFB3), and msh ( Drosophila) homeobox homolog 1 (MSX1). Interestingly, a significant LD between GABRB3 and CL/P was obtained ( P-value=0.008 in the allele-wise analysis for multiallelic markers), suggesting that the GABRB3 gene is involved in this congenital disease. This new finding in humans is in agreement with previously reported data obtained with the murine model. Indeed, mouse studies indicate a role for gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and its receptor in normal palate development. Exclusion of the GAD1 gene, which encodes the GABA-producing enzyme, in CL/P pathogenesis was obtained in our study. Moreover, we were unable to confirm the involvement of the MSX1 gene in nonsyndromic CL/P. Modest evidence of LD between marker alleles and CL/P was found at the RARA and TGFB3 loci suggesting a minor role for these genes in our family set of nonsyndromic CL/P. 相似文献

The deafness mouse has profound sensorineural hearing loss with degeneration of hair cells soon after birth. The mode of inheritance is recessive, and there are no associated phenotypic anomalies. Thus, this mouse provides a model for recessive, nonsyndromic, prelingual deafness. We have mapped the gene causing deafness in the mouse to Chromosome (Chr) 19 by analysis of 230 intersubspecific backcross progeny. No recombinants were found with the microsatellite marker D19Mit14. The loci for two guanine nucleotide-binding proteins are tightly linked to this marker, and they are being investigated as possible candidate genes. The identification of the defective gene in the mouse will help to explain the mechanism that causes hair cell degeneration and is likely to identify a homologous gene for deafness in humans. 相似文献

Mutations in the GJB2 (Connexin 26) gene are responsible for more than half of all cases of prelingual, recessive, inherited, nonsyndromic deafness in Europe. This paper presents a mutation analysis of the GJB2 and GJB6 (Connexin 30) genes in 30 Greek Cypriot patients with sensorineural nonsyndromic hearing loss compatible with recessive inheritance. Ten of the patients (33.3%) had the 35delG mutation in the GJB2 gene. Moreover, 9 of these were homozygous for the 35delG mutation, whereas 1 patient was in the compound heterozygous state with the disease causing E47X nonsense mutation. Another patient with severe sensorineural hearing loss was heterozygous for the V153I missense mutation. Finally, no GJB6 mutations or the known del(GJB6-D13S1830) were identified in any of the investigated Greek Cypriot nonsyndromic hearing loss patients. This work confirms that the GJB2 35delG mutation is an important pathogenic mutation for hearing loss in the Greek Cypriot population. This finding will be used toward the effective diagnosis of nonsyndromic hearing loss, improve genetic counseling, and serve as a potential therapeutic platform in the future for the affected patients in Cyprus. 相似文献

Syndactyly, webbing of adjacent digits with or without bony fusion, is one of the most common hereditary limb malformations. It occurs either as an isolated abnormality or as a component of more than 300 syndromic anomalies. There are currently nine types of phenotypically diverse nonsyndromic syndactyly. Non-syndromic syndactyly is usually inherited as an autosomal dominant trait, although the more severe presenting types and subtypes may show autosomal recessive or X-linked
pattern of inheritance. The phenotype appears to be not only caused by a main gene, but also dependant on genetic background and subsequent signaling pathways involved in limb formation. So far, the principal genes identified to be involved in congenital syndactyly are mainly involved in the zone of polarizing activity and sonic hedgehog pathway. This review summarizes the recent progress made in the molecular genetics, including known genes and loci responsible for non-syndromic syndactyly, and the signaling pathways those genetic factors involved in, as well as clinical features and animal models. We hope our review will contribute to the understanding of underlying pathogenesis of this complicated disorder and have implication on genetic counseling. 相似文献

Hereditary nonsyndromic hearing loss (NSHL) is a highly heterogeneous disorder in humans. Mutations of the transmembrane channel-like (TMC1) gene have been identified as the genetic cause for both autosomal recessive (DFNB7/11) and autosomal dominant (DFNA36) nonsyndromic hearing loss. To evaluate the spectrum and frequency of mutation(s) caused by TMC1 gene in the Korean population, we have performed sequencing analysis of the PCR products amplified from genomic DNA of each proband in 193 unrelated families showing 30 autosomal dominant and 163 autosomal recessive inheritance patterns. As a result, we identified eight different novel sequence variations for the first time in this study, respectively. However, none of these showed co-segregation of phenotype in the families. Therefore, our study suggests that the TMC1 gene is not the cause of nonsyndromic hearing loss in the Korean population. 相似文献

Classical studies have demonstrated genetic heterogeneity for nonsyndromic autosomal recessive congenital neurosensory deafness. The first two DFNB1 and DFNB2 locations were found using two consanguineous Tunisian families respectively from north and south. We tested these loci for cosegregation with deafness in twenty four southern families with nonsyndromic presumed congenital sensorineural deafness and a pedigree structure consistent with autosomal recessive inheritance. Only in our families, did deafness cosegregate with DFNB1. Although our families are from the south, none of them showed linkage to DFNB2. 相似文献

Nonsyndromic orofacial clefting (NS-OFC) is a common complex multifactorial trait with a considerable genetic component and a number of candidate genes suggested by various approaches. Twenty biallelic and microsatellite DNA markers in the strong candidate loci TGFA, TGFB3, GABRB3, RARA, and BCL3 were analysed for allelic association with the NS-OFC phenotype in 112 nuclear families (proband + both parents) from Lithuania by using the transmission disequilibrium test (TDT). Associations were found between the TGFA gene marker rs2166975 and nonsyndromic cleft palate only (CPO) phenotype (p = 0.045, df 1) as well as between the D2S292 marker and the cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL/CP) phenotype in allele-wise TDT (P = 0.005, df 9) and genotype-wise TDT (P = 0.021, df 24). A weak association (P = 0.085, df 3) of the BCL3 marker (BCL3 gene) with the risk of CPO was also found. Thus our initial results support the contribution of allelic variation in the TGFA locus to the aetiology of CL/CP in the population of Lithuania but they do not point to TGFA as a major causal gene. Different roles of the TGFA and BCL3 genes in the susceptibility to NS-OFC phenotypes are suggested. 相似文献

Genetic approaches to identify disease genes for birth defects with cleft lip/palate as a model 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

BACKGROUND: Understanding the etiology of birth defects is an important step toward developing improved treatment and preventive strategies. Most birth defects have an underlying genetic basis, ranging from single genes playing dominant or recessive roles in Mendelian disorders to a mixture of contributions from multiple genes and environmental triggers in complex traits. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of genetic approaches to identifying disease genes for genetically complex birth defects. METHODS: A review of the literature describing successes and limitations for identifying disease genes for complex traits was conducted. RESULTS: Cleft lip and cleft palate are common congenital anomalies with significant medical, psychological, social, and economic ramifications. The Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man catalog (OMIM; http://www3.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Omim) lists more than 400 single-gene causes of clefts of the lip and/or palate. Genetic causes of clefting also include chromosomal rearrangements, genetic susceptibility to teratogenic exposures, and complex genetic contributions of multiple genes. CONCLUSIONS: Genetic causes of birth defects can be identified using an increasingly powerful combination of careful sample collection, molecular analytic methods, and statistical evaluations. We will describe a range of approaches to search for genetic factors of birth defects and use our own work with cleft lip and palate as a model. 相似文献

Summary This paper reports a rare malformation syndrome which is observed in two sibs (brother and sister) of a family. It consists of nearly symmetric reductive defects of the limbs, flexon contractures of various joints, cleft lip and cleft palate, multiple minor abnormalities including capillary hemangioma of the forehead, hypoplastic cartilages of ears and nose, micrognathia, intrauterine growth retardation, and possibly mental retardation. Chromosomes of both parents and propositi are normal. Genetic data suggest autosomal recessive inheritance. 相似文献

Peters' plus syndrome is an infrequently described entity that combines anomalies in the anterior chamber of the eye with other multiple congenital anomalies, and a developmental delay. Major symptoms are extremely variable anterior chamber anomalies, cupid bow of the upper lip, cleft lip and palate, short stature, broad hands and feet, and variable mental delay. The syndrome follows an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance. The etiology is unknown, but may involve abnormal neural crest development. A review of the pertinent literature is provided. 相似文献

Hearing loss (HL) is the most prevalent sensory disorder whose etiology comes from environmental and/or genetic factors. Approximately 60 % of HL cases are due to mutations in genes responsible for maintaining a normal hearing function. Despite the monogenic inheritance of hereditary hearing loss (HHL), its diagnosis is challenging as both clinical and genetic heterogeneity characterizes it. Through the development of next-generation sequencing (NGS) techniques, the number of identified mutations responsible for HHL has increased exponentially during the last decade. Mutations in the TMC1 have been reported in several patients with nonsyndromic hereditary hearing loss (NSHHL), more precisely in cases with an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern. In this study, we conducted whole-exome sequencing (WES) analysis of a United Arabs Emirates (UAE) family with autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss (ARNSHL). This analysis revealed segregation of the TMC1 missense mutation c.596A > T (p.Asn199Ile) with the disease. Bioinformatics analysis supported the pathogenic effect of this mutation and predicted its impact at the proteomics level. Molecular docking analysis of TMC2WT, TMC2R123K, TMC2Q205R, and TMC2R123K + Q205R. Finally, protein docking results suggest a role for TMC2 variants in the phenotypic variability observed within the investigated family. 相似文献

The possible impact of selection bias in genetic and epidemiological studies of cleft lip and palate was studied, using three nationwide ascertainment sources and an autopsy study in a 10% sample of the Danish population. A total of 670 cases were identified. Two national record systems, when used together, were found suitable for ascertaining facial cleft in live births. More than 95% ascertainment was obtained by means of surgical files for cleft lip (with or without cleft palate) without associated malformations/syndromes. However, surgical files could be a poor source for studying isolated cleft palate (CP) (only a 60% and biased ascertainment), and they cannot be used to study the prevalence of associated malformations or syndromes in facial cleft cases. The male:female ratio was 0.88 in surgically treated cases of CP and was 1.5 in nonoperated CP cases, making the overall sex ratio for CP 1.1 (95% confidence limits 0.86-1.4) The sex ratio for CP without associated malformation was 1.1 (95% confidence limits 0.84-1.6). One of the major test criteria in CP multifactorial threshold models (higher CP liability among male CP relatives) must be reconsidered, if other investigations confirm that a CP sex-ratio reversal to male predominance occurs when high ascertainment is achieved. 相似文献

For autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing impairment over 30 loci have been mapped and 19 genes have been identified. DFNB38, a novel locus for autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing impairment, was localized in a consanguineous Pakistani kindred to 6q26-q27. The affected family members present with profound prelingual sensorineural hearing impairment and use sign language for communications. Linkage was established to microsatellite markers located on chromosome 6q26-q27 (Multipoint lod score 3.6). The genetic region for DFNB38 spans 10.1 cM according to the Marshfield genetic map and is bounded by markers D6S980 and D6S1719. This genetic region corresponds to 3.4 MB on the sequence-based physical map. 相似文献
