Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To analyze the clinical and genetic features of a patient with Treacher Collins syndrome (TCS), and identify the mutation in TCOF1 gene.
METHOD:The medical history was taken, and general physical examinations and otological examinations were conducted in this patient. Genomic DNA was extracted from this patient and his parents and complete TCOF1 gene coding exons were amplified by specific PCR primers. Direct sequencing was carried out to identify the mutations. The raw data was analyzed with GeneTool software and molecular biological website.
RESULT:We detected a heterozygous c. 1639 delAG mutation in exon 11 of TCOF1, which resulted in a truncated protein lacking normal function. This mutation is a novel mutation and the second case identified in exon 11 of in TCS.
CONCLUSION:TCS patient reported in this study has unique clinical phenotype. TCOF1 gene mutation is the specific risk factor.
