| Remarks |
Clinically affected; formerly AG03970; congenital cranial nerve palsies (VII and IX or X); short stature; microcephaly; broad, high forehead; beaked nose; high nasal bridge; hypoplastic mid-face (cartilage of tip and nasal alae) with anteverted nares; intact palate; short philtrum and down-turned mouth; small eyes with blepharochalasis; optic nerve pit of the right optic disc; hypoplastic scapulae, humerii, and ulnae with absent radii and metacarpals I and V; absent thumbs; two of the remaining four fingers arose from bifid IVth metacarpals; great toes were short with wide first interdigital space; absent iliac horns and hypoplastic patellae, distal tibiae and fibulae; small vertebrae; thoracic kyphoscoliosis; mild pulmonic valve stenosis; scotoma of right eye; mild mental retardation (IQ = 66); diabetes mellitus diagnosed at age 32 controlled by diet; malignant melanoma of left scapular area of upper back treated surgically only; patient died 3 years after excision of the primary tumor; autopsy revealed widely metastatic melanoma; an older sister has same features with some additional skeletal anomalies (complete fusion of short ulnae with hypoplastic humerii and absent left patella and tibiae), but with no cancer; premature separation of centromeres (PCS) of sister chromatids in leukocytes, EBV virus-transformed lymphoblasts, skin fibroblasts, and metastatic melanoma cells; donor subject is a compound heterozygote: one allele has a C>T transition at nucleotide 604 in exon 3 of the ESCO2 gene [604C>T] resulting in a substitution of a termination signal for glutamine at codon 202 [Gln202Ter (Q202X)] and a second allele has a single-nucleotide deletion at nucleotide 752 in exon 3 of the ESCO2 gene [752delA] resulting in a frameshift with a truncated protein [K253fsX12]; same donor as GM20466 lymphocyte. |
