Abstract
We report on the clinical and molecular abnormalities in a 7-month-old girl and her mother with an ectodermal dysplasia disorder that most closely resembles Rapp-Hodgkin syndrome (RHS). At birth, the child had bilateral cleft palate, a narrow pinched nose, small chin, and hypoplastic nipples, and suffered from respiratory distress, feeding difficulties, and poor weight gain, although developmental progress was normal. Her mother had a cleft palate, sparse hair, high forehead, dental anomalies, a narrow nose, dysplastic nails, and reduced sweating. Sequencing of the p63 gene in genomic DNA from both individuals revealed a heterozygous frameshift mutation, 1721delC, in exon 14. This mutation has not been described previously and is the seventh report of a pathogenic p63 gene mutation in RHS. The frameshift results in changes to the tail of p63 with the addition of 90 missense amino acids downstream and a delayed termination codon that extends the protein by 21 amino acids. This mutation is predicted to disrupt the normal repressive function of the transactivation inhibitory domain leading to gain-of-function for at least two isoforms of the p63 transcription factor. The expanding p63 mutation database demonstrates that there is c...Continue Reading
