Leigh syndrome with developmental regression and ataxia due to a novel splicing variant in the PMPCB gene
Only five children with pathogenic PMPCB gene variants have been described and all carried missense variants. Clinical features included a Leigh-like syndrome of developmental regression, basal ganglia lesions and ataxia with or without dystonia and epilepsy. Three of the five died in childhood and none was older than age six when described. We report the first splice site variant in the PMPCB gene in a 39-year old individual who experienced developmental regression and ataxia following otitis media in childhood. A minigene assay confirms this variant results in aberrant splicing and skipping of exon 12.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Human Genetics is an international journal publishing articles on human genetics, including medical genetics and human genome analysis. It covers all aspects of human genetics, including molecular genetics, clinical genetics, behavioral genetics, immunogenetics, pharmacogenomics, population genetics, functional genomics, epigenetics, genetic counseling and gene therapy.
Articles on the following areas are especially welcome: genetic factors of monogenic and complex disorders, genome-wide association studies, genetic epidemiology, cancer genetics, personal genomics, genotype-phenotype relationships and genome diversity.
