Schinzel—Giedion Syndrome: First Czech Patients Confirmed by Molecular Genetic Analysis
Journal of pediatric neurology(2018)
Abstract
Schinzel-Giedion syndrome (SGS) is a very rare genetic disorder characterized by distinctive facial features, severe developmental delay, seizures, and skeletal abnormalities. Whole exome sequencing, Sanger sequencing, and correlation with already published variants and cases allowed us to identify two different de novo mutations in the SETBP1 gene: NM_015559.2 (SETBP1): c.2601C > G (p.Ser867Arg) and c. 2608 G > A (p.Gly870Ser) in two Czech patients presenting with SGS features. Both mutations are within exon 4 of SETBP1, supporting the notion that exon 4 represents the mutation hotspot of the gene in patients with SGS.
