Evidence that Rieger syndrome maps to 4q25 or 4q27.

چکیده
We report a baby with the features of Rieger syndrome and a de novo interstitial deletion of 4q which includes band 4q26 and an adjoining GTL light band, either q25 or q27. Rieger syndrome is provisionally mapped to 4q23----q27 but band 4q26 has been excluded as a possible site, suggesting that Rieger syndrome must map to a band, either 4q25 or 4q27, adjoining 4q26.

Genetic heterogeneity in Rieger eye malformation.
A three generation family with Rieger eye malformation sequence is described. No other abnormalities were present apart from the eye malformation. Linkage to EGF and D4S193 localised in 4q25 was excluded and this indicates that Rieger eye malformation is genetically different from typical Rieger syndrome with teeth and umbilical anomalies.
متن کاملA new approach to the elucidation of complex chromosome rearrangements illustrated by a case of Rieger syndrome.
A patient with a complex chromosome rearrangement and unilateral Rieger syndrome is presented. This rearrangement involves four chromosomes and six breakpoints, one of which is at 4q25, the candidate region for Rieger syndrome. We discuss a novel approach to the elucidation of this case using a multiprobe fluorescence in situ hybridisation method to show rearrangements unpredictable from G band...
متن کاملMutation in the RIEG1 gene in patients with iridogoniodysgenesis syndrome.
Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome (ARS) and iridogoniodysgenesis syndrome (IGDS) are clinically related autosomal dominant disorders which affect the anterior segment of the eye as well as non-ocular structures. ARS patients present with iris hypoplasia, a prominent Schwalbe line, adhesions between the iris stroma and the iridocorneal angle and increased intraocular pressure. IGDS is characterized by ir...
متن کاملA mutation in the RIEG1 gene associated with Peters' anomaly.
Mutations within the RIEG1 homeobox gene on chromosome 4q25 have previously been reported in association with Rieger syndrome. We report a 3' splice site mutation within the 3rd intron of the RIEG1 gene which is associated with unilateral Peters' anomaly. The mutation is a single base substition of A to T at the invariant -2 site of the 3' splice site. Peters' anomaly, which is characterised by...
متن کاملMultiple congenital anomalies including the Rieger eye malformation in a boy with interstitial deletion of (4) (q25-->q27) secondary to a balanced insertion in his normal father: evidence for haplotype insufficiency causing the Rieger malformation.
A 7 year old boy with minor facial anomalies, the Rieger eye malformation, reduced vision, genital anomalies, and severe mental retardation had deletion of the segment 4q24-->q26. His phenotypically normal father had a balanced insertion of that segment into the distal long arm of chromosome 6: 46,XY,ins(6;4)(q26;q24q26). Microsatellite loci flanking the RIEG gene on 4q25 were deleted giving in...
