Rieger syndrome is a genetically and phenotypically heterogeneous disorder typically characterized by malformations of the eyes, teeth, and umbilicus. The syndrome is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait and exhibits significant variable expressivity. One locus associated with this disorder has been mapped to 4q25. Using a large four-generation pedigree, we have identified a second locus for Rieger syndrome located on chromosome 13q14.
里格尔综合征是一种在遗传和表型上具有异质性的疾病,其典型特征为眼睛、牙齿和脐部的畸形。该综合征以常染色体显性性状遗传,并表现出显著的可变表达性。与这种疾病相关的一个基因座已被定位到4q25。利用一个大型的四代家系,我们确定了位于13号染色体13q14上的里格尔综合征的第二个基因座。
