Mutations or deletions of gene are responsible for the symptoms of KBG syndrome. The KBG syndrome is a rare genetic disorder which is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. Affected patients usually have characteristic facial features, macrodontia of the upper central incisors, hand abnormalities, developmental delay and short stature. In the present article we would like to report a clinical and molecular case study of two patients affected by KBG syndrome. The diagnosis of the first patient was confirmed by the identification of the novel pathogenic variant in gene by next-generation sequencing. The second patient was diagnosed after the detection of a 16q24.2q24.3 deletion encompassing the gene microarray.
基因的突变或缺失是导致KBG综合征症状的原因。KBG综合征是一种罕见的遗传性疾病,以常染色体显性方式遗传。受影响的患者通常具有特征性面部特征、上颌中切牙巨牙症、手部异常、发育迟缓以及身材矮小。在本文中,我们将报告两例受KBG综合征影响患者的临床和分子病例研究。首例患者的诊断通过下一代测序鉴定出基因中的新型致病变异得以证实。第二例患者在检测到包含该基因微阵列的16q24.2q24.3缺失后被确诊。
