Oculodentodigital dysplasia syndrome is associated with numerous pathogenic variants in , the gene encoding connexin43 gap junction protein. A novel in-frame deletion (p.Lys134del) was found in our clinic. The patient showed all the typical dysmorphic features of the syndrome. The functional consequences of this variant were also studied in an system. Cells expressed significantly less number of gap junction plaques with a great number of them retained intracellularly.
眼牙指发育不全综合征与编码连接蛋白43间隙连接蛋白的基因中的众多致病变异有关。我们诊所发现了一种新的框内缺失(p.Lys134del)。该患者表现出该综合征的所有典型畸形特征。还在一个系统中研究了这种变异的功能后果。细胞表达的间隙连接斑块数量明显减少,其中大量斑块保留在细胞内。
