Abstract

Recently, exome sequencing has extended our knowledge of genetic causes of developmental delay through identification of de novo, germline mutations in the guanine nucleotide-binding protein, beta 1 (GNB1) in 13 patients with neurodevelopmental disability and a wide range of additional symptoms and signs including hypotonia in 11 and seizures in 10 of the patients. Limb/arm dystonia was found in 2 patients.(1).

(A) Snapshot of the patient demonstrates dystonic postures of the limbs, trunk, and neck. (B) Pedigree comprises the index patient (filled symbol) and her healthy parents (blank symbols). Results of the validation of the de novo mutation in GNB1 (c.353A>G, p.D118G) by Sanger sequencing on the reverse strand are shown. Both unaffected parents carry 2 wild-type alleles at the respective position (highlighted by arrow), while the affected daughter is a heterozygous mutation carrier.
