Patients with 3MC syndrome have a distinctive facial phenotype including hypertelorism, highly arched eyebrows and ptosis. A significant number of patients have bilateral cleft lip and palate and they often exhibit genitourinary and skeletal anomalies. A clinical clue to 3MC syndrome is the presence of a characteristic caudal appendage. Genetic variants in MASP1, COLEC11 and COLEC10 genes have been identified as the causation of this syndrome, yet relatively few patients have been described so far. We consolidate and expand current knowledge of phenotypic features and molecular diagnosis of 3MC syndrome by describing the clinical and molecular findings in five patients. This includes follow-up of two brothers whose clinical phenotypes were first reported by Crisponi et al in 1999. Our study contributes to the evolving clinical and molecular spectrum of 3MC syndrome.</p>","PeriodicalId":50682,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Dysmorphology","volume":"32 1","pages":"7-13"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10229510","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pathogenic variants in PIGH have been reported to cause GPI biosynthesis defect 17 (MIM# 618010).

Based on the present research findings, the PDE3A gene is responsible for HTNB, which is located at 12p12.2-p11.2 and is abundantly expressed in platelet, heart and vascular smooth muscle. PDE3A encodes phosphodiesterase 3A which hydrolyzes cyclic GMP (cGMP) and cyclic AMP (cAMP). Laboratory experiments suggested that PDE3A variants in HTNB-affected individuals are gain-of-function variants as they increase protein kinase A (PKA)mediated phosphorylation of phosphodiesterase 3A which leads to hyperactivation of phosphodiesterase 3A (Ercu et al., 2020). In this study, we identified a missense variant (c.1340C>T) in PDE3A of a Chinese family with HTNB and emphasized clinical features and diagnostic evaluation of this rare disease.","PeriodicalId":50682,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Dysmorphology","volume":"31 4","pages":"201-205"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10227425","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
