Renal coloboma syndrome is an autosomal dominant condition characterized by renal lesions and optic nerve abnormalities. We report an 11-yr-old Japanese girl with familial renal coloboma syndrome, who also had Graves' disease. Four affected family members had a previously reported heterozygous mutation (c.76dupG, p.Val26Glyfs*28) in the PAX2 gene. We hypothesized that PAX2 mutations may increase the risk of autoimmune diseases through alterations of human β-defensin 1 expression.
肾裂综合征是一种常染色体显性疾病,其特征为肾脏病变和视神经异常。我们报告了一名患有家族性肾裂综合征的11岁日本女孩,她还患有格雷夫斯病。四名受影响的家庭成员在PAX2基因中存在先前报道的杂合突变(c.76dupG,p.Val26Glyfs*28)。我们推测,PAX2突变可能通过改变人β-防御素1的表达增加自身免疫性疾病的风险。
