She was found to have a 6074A > T nucleotide transition in the TNXB gene causing an amino acid protein change at Asp2025Val classified as likely pathogenic. We add this clinical report to the literature and classical human disease gene catalogs to identify this specific mutation as disease-causing. This gene variant was reported previously in a different 36-year-old patient who shared our patient's symptoms of joint hypermobility, skeletal and joint pain, skin elasticity and musculoskeletal problems, thereby causing a more severe presentation than seen in the hypermobility type of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS). At the time of writing, a few mutations in the TNXB gene have been recognized as pathogenic causing EDS due to tenascin-X deficiency, but the variant identified in our patient has not been recognized as pathogenic in online genetic databases. Our case study in combination with peer-reviewed literature suggests that the 6074A > T nucleotide transition in the TNXB gene may be classified as disease-causing for EDS due to tenascin-X deficiency.","PeriodicalId":70632,"journal":{"name":"世界遗传转化学杂志(英文版)","volume":"6 2","pages":"17-21"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/c1/60/nihms814447.PMC5363719.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"34857403","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
