Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome (WHS) is a rare but recurrent microdeletion syndrome associated with hemizygosity of an interstitial segment of Chromosome 4 (4p16.3). Consistent with historical reports in which overlapping deletions defined a minimal critical region in WHS patients, recent reports from exome sequence analysis have provided further evidence that haploinsufficiency of a specific gene within this critical region, (), is causal for many features of the syndrome. In this report, we describe three unrelated patients with loss-of-function alterations in who presented clinically with WHS features including intrauterine growth retardation and global developmental delay. Two of the three patients also had overlapping features of failure to thrive, short stature, constipation, and hypotonia. This series adds additional cases to expand the phenotypic spectrum of WHS and reports novel variants.
沃尔夫-赫希霍恩综合征(WHS)是一种罕见但会复发的微缺失综合征,与4号染色体(4p16.3)间质段的半合子状态相关。与既往报道一致,即重叠缺失定义了WHS患者的最小关键区域,外显子序列分析的最新报道进一步证明,该关键区域内特定基因()的单倍剂量不足是该综合征许多特征的病因。在本报告中,我们描述了三名无关患者,他们在()中存在功能丧失性改变,临床上表现出WHS特征,包括宫内生长迟缓及全面发育迟缓。三名患者中有两名还具有生长发育不良、身材矮小、便秘和肌张力减退等重叠特征。本系列病例增加了更多病例,以扩大WHS的表型谱,并报告了新的()变异。
