Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) has an incidence of around 1/3000 births. Chromosomal anomalies constitute an important etiology for non-isolated CDH, and may participate to the identification of candidate genes for diaphragm development. We report on a microduplication identified by array-CGH (comparative genomic hybridization) including five contiguous genes (OPHN1, YIPF6, STARD8, EFNB1 and PJA1) and arising de novo in a male presenting a congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). Our case is the second report of EFNB1 duplication associated with CDH in a male patient, supporting its implication sensitive to gene dosage in diaphragm development.
先天性膈疝(CDH)的发病率约为每3000例出生中有1例。染色体异常是非孤立性CDH的重要病因,可能有助于确定膈肌发育的候选基因。我们报告了一例通过阵列比较基因组杂交(array-CGH)鉴定出的微重复,该微重复包含五个相邻基因(OPHN1、YIPF6、STARD8、EFNB1和PJA1),且在一名患有先天性膈疝(CDH)的男性中为新发。我们的病例是第二例关于男性患者中与CDH相关的EFNB1重复的报告,支持其在膈肌发育中对基因剂量敏感的影响。
