Treacher Collins syndrome (TCS) is an autosomal dominant disorder of craniofacial development with an incidence of 1/50,000 live births. Mutations of the TCOF1 gene have been found to be responsible for most cases of this mandibulofacial disorder. Here we report TCS in an individual who has a heterozygous c.1021_1022delAG deletion in exon 7 of the TCOF1 gene (NG_011341.1). This is the second Turkish patient with a severe TCS phenotype resulting from a de novo c.1021_1022delAG mutation.
特雷彻·柯林斯综合征(TCS)是一种常染色体显性遗传的颅面发育障碍疾病,活产婴儿中的发病率为1/50,000。已发现TCOF1基因突变是导致这种下颌面发育障碍的主要原因。在此,我们报告了一名个体患有TCS,其TCOF1基因第7外显子存在杂合性c.1021_1022delAG缺失(NG_011341.1)。这是第二例因新发c.1021_1022delAG突变导致严重TCS表型的土耳其患者。
