Abstract
This study intends to describe for the first time a cohort of Mexican patients with Costello syndrome. The five exons of the HRAS gene were amplified in DNA samples from 13 patients with a clinical suspicion of Costello syndrome. PCR products were sequenced using the Ready Reaction Big Dye Terminator v.3.0 Kit and an ABI PRISM 310 sequencer. Only five patients (38%) showed causal variant in codon 12 of the HRAS gene (four with the p.Gly12Ser and one with the p.Gly12Ala variant). Three patients showed silent polymorphic variants (p.His27His and p.Leu159Leu). Clinical features in patients carrying the causal variant were variable. The alternative diagnosis of cardio-facio-cutaneous syndrome was considered in patients who did not have a causative variant in HRAS.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Dysmorphology publishes succinct case reports on the etiology, clinical delineation, genetic mapping, and molecular embryology of birth defects. This journal covers such topics as multiple congenital anomaly syndromes - with particular emphasis on previously undescribed conditions, rare findings, ethnic differences in existing syndromes, fetal abnormalities, and cytogenetic aberrations that might give clues to the localization of developmental genes. Regular features include original, peer-reviewed articles, conference reports, book and software reviews, abstracts and summaries from the UK Dysmorphology Club, and literature summaries.
Submitted articles undergo a preliminary review by the editor. Some articles may be returned to authors wihtout further consideration. Those being considered for publication will undergo further assessment and peer-review by the editors and those invited to do so from a reviewer pool.
