Hand-foot-genital syndrome (HFGS) is a rare condition characterized by congenital malformations in the limbs and genitourinary tract. Generally, this syndrome occurs due to point mutations that cause loss of function of the gene, which is located on 7p15; however, there are some patients with HFGS caused by interstitial deletions in this region.
We describe a pediatric Mexican patient who came to the Medical Genetics Department at the National Institute of Pediatrics because he presented with genital, hand and feet anomalies, facial dysmorphisms, and learning difficulties. Array CGH reported a 12.7 Mb deletion that includes .
We compared our patient with cases of HFGS reported in the literature caused by a microdeletion; we found a minimum shared region in 7p15.2. By analyzing the phenotype in these patients, we suggest that microdeletions in this region should be investigated in all patients with clinical characteristics of HFGS who also present with dysplastic ears, mainly low-set implantation with a prominent antihelix, as well as a low nasal bridge and long philtrum.
手足生殖器综合征(HFGS)是一种罕见疾病,其特征为四肢和泌尿生殖道的先天性畸形。一般来说,该综合征是由位于7p15的基因发生功能丧失的点突变引起的;然而,也有一些HFGS患者是由该区域的间质缺失导致的。
我们描述了一名墨西哥儿科患者,他因生殖器、手和足部异常、面部畸形及学习困难来到国立儿科学研究所医学遗传学部门。阵列比较基因组杂交(Array CGH)报告了一个12.7 Mb的缺失,其中包括……
我们将我们的患者与文献中报道的由微缺失引起的HFGS病例进行了比较;我们在7p15.2中发现了一个最小共享区域。通过分析这些患者的表型,我们建议,对于所有具有HFGS临床特征且伴有发育异常耳朵(主要是低位植入且对耳轮突出)、低鼻梁和长人中的患者,都应调查该区域的微缺失情况。
