Abstract
We aimed to describe the clinical and genetic characteristics of 16 individuals with KBG syndrome (KBGS) from 13 Indian families. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical details of individuals with KBGS harboring a likely pathogenic/pathogenic variant in ANKRD11. We also analyzed their facial gestalt using Face2Gene and recorded the top three differential disorders suggested by the application. The most frequent clinical features observed in our cohort were as follows: learning and intellectual disability-14/15 (93%), skeletal abnormalities-14/15 (93%), postnatal short stature-13/15 (87%), brachydactyly-11/15 (73%), and characteristic facial appearance-13/15 (87%). We identified 12 single nucleotide variants (SNVs), including six recurrent and six novel variants, and a copy number variant in the 16q24.3 region encompassing ANKRD11 gene. The novel variants were as follows: p.(Gln1236Ter), p.(Asp884ThrfsTer93), p.(Arg1466GlyfsTer87), p.(Tyr2056Ter), p.(Leu955TrpfsTer22), and p.(Lys766ArgfsTer10). The identified SNVs in ANKRD11 clustered around exon 9. We observed a high concordance of Face2Gene in predicting KBGS.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
