Deletion at chromosome 10p11.23-p12.1 defines characteristic phenotypes with marked midface retrusion
Abstract
Approximately 3% of the live-born infants have major dysmorphic features, and about two-thirds of which are observed in the maxillofacial region; however, in many cases, the etiology of the dysmorphic features remains uncertain. Recently, the genome-wide screening of large patient cohorts with congenital disorders has made it possible to discover genomic aberrations corresponding to the pathogenesis. In our analyses of more than 536 cases of clinically undiagnosed multiple congenital anomalies and mental retardation (MR) by microarray-based comparative genomic hybridization, we detected two non-consanguineous unrelated patients with microdeletions at 10p11.23-p12.1, which overlapped for 957 kb, including four protein-coding genes: ARMC4, MPP7, WAC and BAMBI. As the two patients had similar phenotypes; for example, MR and multiple maxillofacial abnormalities including midface retrusion, wide mouth and large tongue, we assessed the phenotypes in detail to define the common features, using quantitative evaluations of the maxillofacial dysmorphism. The concordance of the genetic and phenotypic alterations is a good evidence of a new syndrome. Although an interstitial deletion of 10p is rare, the current study is the first trial to examine precisely the craniofacial characteristics of patients with a heterozygous deletion at 10p11.23-p12.1, and presents good evidence to diagnose potential patients with the same genetic cause.
