BMPR1B mutation causes Pierre Robin sequence

BACKGROUND We investigated a large family with Pierre Robin sequence (PRS). AIM OF THE STUDY This study aims to determine the genetic cause of PRS. RESULTS The reciprocal translocation t(4;6)(q22;p21) was identified to be segregated with PRS in a three-generation family. Whole-genome sequencing and Sanger sequencing successfully detected breakpoints in the intragenic regions of BMRP1B and G...
