Abstract
Germline gain of function variants in the oncogene ABL1 cause congenital heart defects and skeletal malformations (CHDSKM) syndrome. Whether a corresponding ABL1 deficiency disorder exists in humans remains unknown although developmental defects in mice deficient for Abl1 support this notion. Here, we describe two multiplex consanguineous families, each segregating a different homozygous likely loss of function variant in ABL1. The associated phenotype is multiple congenital malformations and distinctive facial dysmorphism that are opposite in many ways to CHDSKM. We suggest that a tight balance of ABL1 activity is required during embryonic development and that both germline gain of function and loss of function variants result in distinctively different allelic congenital malformation disorders.
期刊介绍：
Human Genetics is a monthly journal publishing original and timely articles on all aspects of human genetics. The Journal particularly welcomes articles in the areas of Behavioral genetics, Bioinformatics, Cancer genetics and genomics, Cytogenetics, Developmental genetics, Disease association studies, Dysmorphology, ELSI (ethical, legal and social issues), Evolutionary genetics, Gene expression, Gene structure and organization, Genetics of complex diseases and epistatic interactions, Genetic epidemiology, Genome biology, Genome structure and organization, Genotype-phenotype relationships, Human Genomics, Immunogenetics and genomics, Linkage analysis and genetic mapping, Methods in Statistical Genetics, Molecular diagnostics, Mutation detection and analysis, Neurogenetics, Physical mapping and Population Genetics. Articles reporting animal models relevant to human biology or disease are also welcome. Preference will be given to those articles which address clinically relevant questions or which provide new insights into human biology.
Unless reporting entirely novel and unusual aspects of a topic, clinical case reports, cytogenetic case reports, papers on descriptive population genetics, articles dealing with the frequency of polymorphisms or additional mutations within genes in which numerous lesions have already been described, and papers that report meta-analyses of previously published datasets will normally not be accepted.
The Journal typically will not consider for publication manuscripts that report merely the isolation, map position, structure, and tissue expression profile of a gene of unknown function unless the gene is of particular interest or is a candidate gene involved in a human trait or disorder.
