A novel missense mutation in the TBX5 gene in a Saudi infant with Holt-Oram syndrome
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on a Saudi infant with Holt-Oram syndrome caused by a de novo missense mutation of the TBX5 gene. The mutation (Thr72Lys) is novel and has not been previously reported. The cardiac and limb defects in our patient were both severe, and the infant also had micrognathia and cleft palate. Previously reported cases of the Holt-Oram syndrome caused by missense mutations were reviewed and their phenotypes were compared with the phenotype of our patient.

Novel TBX5 mutations and molecular mechanism for Holt-Oram syndrome.
The Holt-Oram syndrome (OMIM 142900) is an autosomal dominant disorder with clinical features characterised by a variety of skeletal malformations and congenital heart defects. The gene for Holt-Oram syndrome has been identified as TBX5 on chromosome 12q24. TBX5 encodes a protein of 518 amino acids that belongs to the family of the T box transcriptional factors, 11 and is expressed in embryonic...

Atrial Fibrillation and Other Clinical Manifestations of Altered TBX5 Dosage in Typical Holt–Oram Syndrome To the editor: We were pleased to read the recent study in Circulation Research by Postma et al1 that describes an activation mutation in TBX5 that causes Holt–Oram syndrome. These exciting findings validate prior studies (reviewed elsewhere2) showing that cytogenetic abnormalities that pr...
متن کاملA genetic Assay of Three Patients in the Same Family with Holt-Oram Syndrome; a Case Report
Holt-Oram syndrome (HOS) is a developmental disorder inherited in an autosomal-dominant pattern. Affected organs are the heart and forelimbs with upper extremity skeletal defects and congenital heart malformation. In this study we present three cases of HOS in the same family. In one of these three individuals we detected a transition of C to T (CTG-GTT, V205V) in exon 7 of the TBX5 gene. This ...
متن کاملCurrent advances in Holt-Oram syndrome.
Holt-Oram syndrome is an autosomal-dominant condition characterized by congenital cardiac and forelimb anomalies. It is caused by mutations of the TBX5 gene, a member of the T-box family that encodes a transcription factor. Molecular studies have demonstrated that mutations predicted to create null alleles cause substantial abnormalities in both the limbs and heart, and that missense mutations ...
متن کاملDifferent TBX5 interactions in heart and limb defined by Holt-Oram syndrome mutations.
To better understand the role of TBX5, a T-box containing transcription factor in forelimb and heart development, we have studied the clinical features of Holt-Oram syndrome caused by 10 different TBX5 mutations. Defects predicted to create null alleles caused substantial abnormalities both in limb and heart. In contrast, missense mutations produced distinct phenotypes: Gly80Arg caused signific...
