The gene encodes a chaperone protein of the noncoding RNA 75 K, and mutations in this gene have been identified in patients with Alazami syndrome. Herein, we report another Japanese patient with Alazami syndrome and novel compound heterozygous variants in (i.e., c.370delG, p.Glu124fs*38 and c.641_667+25del involving the splice donor site of intron 8). These findings provide further evidence that biallelic LARP7 defects cause the phenotype of Alazami syndrome.
该基因编码一种非编码RNA 75K的伴侣蛋白,在阿拉扎米综合征患者中已鉴定出该基因的突变。在此,我们报告了另一例患有阿拉扎米综合征的日本患者以及该基因中的新型复合杂合变体(即c.370delG、p.Glu124fs*38和c.641_667+25del,涉及内含子8的剪接供体位点)。这些发现进一步证明双等位基因LARP7缺陷导致阿拉扎米综合征的表型。
