ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Cenani-Lenzsyndactyly syndrome (CLSS; OMIM 212780) is a rare autosomal recessive acral deformity, which is mainly manifested in the fusion of fingers or toes, disordered phalangeal structure, shortening or fusion of the radius and ulna, and renal hypoplasia. CASE PRESENTATION Our report described an individual with mild phenotypes from China. His parents were not consanguineous. The affected individual was non-dysmorphic. Standard X-ray showed that the both hands have only four metacarpal bones. The distal end of the first metacarpal bone on the right was relatively slender, and the distal phalanx was absent. Multiple phalanges and some soft tissues of both hands were fused. Exome sequencing revealed a novel biallelic c.282C⟩Avariant in low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 4 (LRP4; OMIM604270; NM_002334.4) causing p. (Asn94Lys) change in the encoded protein. This variant is predicted to be potentially pathogenic, affecting protein structure and function.CONCLUSION:
We report a novel missense variant present in homozygosity in LRP4 to broaden the pathogenic spectrum of LRP4 in syndactyly, and exome sequencing technology is a powerful tool for genetic analysis in prenatal diagnosis and medical research, as a preferred method for the diagnosis of syndactyly and related phenotypes.Palavras-chave
