Oral-facial-digital type VI syndrome (OFDVI) is a rare phenotype of Joubert syndrome (JS). Recently, C5orf42 was suggested as the major OFDVI gene, being mutated in 9 of 11 families (82 %). We sequenced C5orf42 in 313 JS probands and identified mutations in 28 (8.9 %), most with a phenotype of pure JS. Only 2 out of 17 OFDVI patients (11.7 %) were mutated. A comparison of mutated vs. non-mutated OFDVI patients showed that preaxial and mesoaxial polydactyly, hypothalamic hamartoma and other congenital defects may predict C5orf42 mutations, while tongue hamartomas are more common in negative patients.
口面指综合征VI型(OFDVI)是乔伯特综合征(JS)的一种罕见表型。最近,C5orf42被认为是主要的OFDVI基因,在11个家族中的9个(82%)发生了突变。我们对313名JS先证者的C5orf42进行了测序,在28名(8.9%)中发现了突变,大多数具有单纯JS的表型。17名OFDVI患者中只有2名(11.7%)发生了突变。对发生突变与未发生突变的OFDVI患者进行比较显示,轴前和轴中多指畸形、下丘脑错构瘤及其他先天性缺陷可能预示着C5orf42突变,而舌错构瘤在未发生突变的患者中更为常见。
