Abstract
The TP63 gene is essential for epithelial proliferation, differentiation, and maintenance during embryogenesis. Despite considerable clinical variability, TP63-related symptoms are characterized by ectodermal dysplasia, distal limb malformations, and orofacial clefts. We identified a novel TP63 variant (c.619A > G, p.K207E) in a seven-month-old Chinese patient with orofacial clefts and ectrodactyly but no evident signs of ectodermal dysplasia. This phenotype was rarely reported before. We summarized the presence of the three main TP63-related manifestations in the literature and noted different distributions of CP- and CL/P-related variants regarding p63 structural domains.
期刊介绍:
The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal (CPCJ) is the premiere peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary, international journal dedicated to current research on etiology, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment in all areas pertaining to craniofacial anomalies. CPCJ reports on basic science and clinical research aimed at better elucidating the pathogenesis, pathology, and optimal methods of treatment of cleft and craniofacial anomalies. The journal strives to foster communication and cooperation among professionals from all specialties.
