Haploinsufficiency of HDAC4 gene has been reported to result in brachydactyly-"mental retardation" syndrome (BDMR), a condition with significant intellectual impairment, brachydactyly type E, and typical facial features. Presented here are three individuals with haploinsufficiency of HDAC4 who have brachydactyly type E, non-dysmorphic facial features, and normal intelligence. This is in contradistinction to previous reports that haploinsufficiency of HDAC4 is sufficient to cause BDMR.
据报道,HDAC4基因单倍剂量不足会导致短指-智力发育迟缓综合征(BDMR),该病症伴有严重智力障碍、E型短指和典型面部特征。本文介绍了三名HDAC4基因单倍剂量不足的患者,他们患有E型短指、面部无畸形特征且智力正常。这与之前关于HDAC4基因单倍剂量不足足以导致BDMR的报道形成了对比。
