Marie Unna hereditary hypotrichosis (MUHH) is an autosomal dominant form of non-syndromic hereditary alopecia. Recently, loss-of-function mutations of an inhibitory upstream open reading frame (ORF) in the human hairless gene (HR), named U2HR, have been identified in some patients with MUHH. We investigated a sporadic Chinese patient with MUHH and identified a novel mutation in U2HR, c.14C>T (p.T5M), which extends the mutation spectrum of U2HR mutations.
玛丽·安纳遗传性稀毛症(MUHH)是一种常染色体显性遗传的非综合征性遗传性脱发。最近,一些 MUHH 患者的人类无毛基因(HR)中的抑制性上游开放阅读框(ORF)的功能丧失突变已被鉴定,命名为 U2HR。我们研究了一名散发的中国 MUHH 患者,并在 U2HR 中发现了一个新的突变,c.14C>T(p.T5M),该突变扩展了 U2HR 突变的突变谱。
