OFD1 mutations in males: phenotypic spectrum and ciliary basal body docking impairment.
نویسندگان
چکیده
To the Editor : OFD1 mutations are responsible for X-linked dominant oral-facial-digital syndrome type I (OFDSI), as well as for four recessive X-linked phenotypes: mental retardation (MR) with macrocephaly, obesity, distal limb abnormalities and ciliary dysfunction [Simpson–Golabi–Behmel syndrome type 2 (SGBS2)], JS (Joubert syndrome) with polydactyly and retinal involvement (JBST10), an unclassified malformation

Oral-facial-digital type I syndrome (OFDI) is a human X-linked dominant-male-lethal developmental disorder caused by mutations in the OFD1 gene. Similar to other inherited disorders associated to ciliary dysfunction OFD type I patients display neurological abnormalities. We characterized the neuronal phenotype that results from Ofd1 inactivation in early phases of mouse embryonic development an...
متن کاملOFD1 is mutated in X-linked Joubert syndrome and interacts with LCA5-encoded lebercilin.
We ascertained a multi-generation Malaysian family with Joubert syndrome (JS). The presence of asymptomatic obligate carrier females suggested an X-linked recessive inheritance pattern. Affected males presented with mental retardation accompanied by postaxial polydactyly and retinitis pigmentosa. Brain MRIs showed the presence of a "molar tooth sign," which classifies this syndrome as classic J...
متن کاملOral‐facial‐digital syndrome type 1 in males: Congenital heart defects are included in its phenotypic spectrum
Oral-facial-digital syndrome type 1 (OFD1; OMIM# 311200) is an X-linked dominant ciliopathy caused by mutations in the OFD1 gene. This condition is characterized by facial anomalies and abnormalities of oral tissues, digits, brain, and kidneys. Almost all affected patients are female, as OFD1 is presumed to be lethal in males, mostly in the first or second trimester of pregnancy. Live born male...
متن کاملConvergent extension movements and ciliary function are mediated by ofd1, a zebrafish orthologue of the human oral-facial-digital type 1 syndrome gene
In humans, OFD1 is mutated in oral-facial-digital type I syndrome leading to prenatal death in hemizygous males and dysmorphic faces and brain malformations, with polycystic kidneys presenting later in life in heterozygous females. To elucidate the function of Ofd1, we have studied its function during zebrafish embryonic development. In wild-type embryos, ofd1 mRNA is widely expressed and Ofd1-...

Mutation of the X-linked oral-facial-digital syndrome type 1 (OFD1) gene is embryonic lethal in males and results in craniofacial malformations and adult onset polycystic kidney disease in females. While the OFD1 protein localizes to centriolar satellites, centrosomes and basal bodies, its cellular function and how it relates to cystic kidney disease is largely unknown. Here, we demonstrate tha...
