Snyder-Robinson syndrome (SRS, OMIM 309583) is a rare X-linked syndrome characterized by mental retardation, marfanoid habitus, skeletal defects, osteoporosis, and facial asymmetry. Linkage analysis localized the related gene to Xp21.3-p22.12, and a G-to-A transition at point +5 of intron 4 of the spermine synthase gene, which caused truncation of the SMS protein and loss of enzyme activity, was identified in the original family. Here we describe another family with Snyder-Robinson syndrome in two Mexican brothers and a novel mutation (c.496T>G) in the exon 5 of the SMS gene confirming its involvement in this rare X-linked mental retardation syndrome.
斯奈德-罗宾逊综合征(SRS,OMIM 309583)是一种罕见的X连锁综合征,其特征为智力发育迟缓、类马凡体型、骨骼缺陷、骨质疏松和面部不对称。连锁分析将相关基因定位到Xp21.3-p22.12,在最初的家系中发现精胺合酶基因第4内含子第+5位点发生了G到A的转换,导致SMS蛋白截短并丧失酶活性。在此,我们描述了另一个患有斯奈德-罗宾逊综合征的墨西哥兄弟家系,并在SMS基因外显子5中发现了一个新的突变(c.496T>G),证实了该基因与这种罕见的X连锁智力发育迟缓综合征有关。
