Intellectual Product
Source: Orphanet
A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in individuals with two pathogenic alleles, either homozygotes (two copies of the same mutant allele) or compound heterozygotes (whereby each copy of a gene has a distinct mutant allele).
 
Gene (location): TBX4 (17q23.2)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0011054
OMIM®: 601360
Orphanet: ORPHA1027

Definition

Posterior amelia with pelvic and pulmonary hypoplasia syndrome (PAPPAS) is characterized by absent lower limbs, severely hypoplastic or absent pelvic bones, and hypoplasia of the sacrum, as well as hypoplasia of the lungs with pulmonary segmentation defect. Ambiguous genitalia have also been observed (Kariminejad et al., 2019). Heterozygous mutation in the TBX4 gene causes ischiocoxopodopatellar syndrome with or without pulmonary arterial hypertension (ICPPS; 147891). [from OMIM]
