A Novel Heterozygous Intragenic Sequence Variant in DLX6 Probably Underlies First Case of Autosomal Dominant Split-Hand/Foot Malformation Type 1.


ABSTRACT: Split-hand and foot malformation (SHFM; MIM 183600) is a rare human genetic limb malformation. It is characterized by missing digital rays in the hands and feet. SHFMs vary in severity from mild abnormalities affecting a single limb to acute malformations involving all 4 limbs. It is inherited, as part of both a syndromic and nonsyndromic disorder, in an autosomal recessive, autosomal dominant, and X-linked patterns. So far, 9 loci of hand and foot malformation have been mapped on human chromosomes. The present study describes a family with 2 affected individuals segregating SHFM in an autosomal dominant fashion. Sanger sequencing of the genes involved in SHFM was performed to identify the disease-causing variant. Sequence analysis revealed the first heterozygous missense variant (c.632T>A, p.Val211Glu) in the distal-less homeobox 6 (DLX6) gene, located in chromosome 7q21, causing SHFM in the present family. This study supports the evidence of DLX6 as an SHFM-causing gene.
