TextSentencer_T1 |
0-131 |
Sentence |
denotes |
263.4 kb deletion within the TCF4 gene consistent with Pitt-Hopkins syndrome, inherited from a mosaic parent with normal phenotype. |
TextSentencer_T2 |
132-289 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Pitt-Hopkins syndrome (PTHS) is a rare neurodevelopmental genetic disorder, remaining under-diagnosed due to similarities with other known genetic syndromes. |
TextSentencer_T3 |
290-455 |
Sentence |
denotes |
It is mainly characterized by severe intellectual disability, overbreathing, a typical facial gestalt, tendency to epilepsy and is caused by TCF4 haploinsufficiency. |
TextSentencer_T4 |
456-663 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We report on a 14-year old boy, born to healthy non-consanguineous parents, with a PTHS spectrum phenotype, presenting with moderate to severe developmental delay, severe speech delay and facial dysmorphism. |
TextSentencer_T5 |
664-846 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Genetic investigation using array-based comparative genomic hybridization (array-CGH) with a 400K custom array, revealed a 263.4 kb deletion within the TCF4 gene, removing exons 4-9. |
TextSentencer_T6 |
847-947 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Parental array-CGH analysis was also performed, indicating paternal mosaicism for the same deletion. |
TextSentencer_T7 |
948-1006 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The mosaicism was confirmed by Quantitative Real-Time PCR. |
TextSentencer_T8 |
1007-1089 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The current report describes a new TCF4 deletion associated with a PTHS phenotype. |
TextSentencer_T9 |
1090-1229 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Moreover, it is the first case to our knowledge, where such a deletion is shown to be inherited from a clinically unaffected mosaic parent. |
TextSentencer_T10 |
1230-1352 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Our results highlight the importance of parental testing in this setting for more accurate and focused prenatal diagnosis. |
TextSentencer_T11 |
1353-1467 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The level and tissue-specificity of mosaicism in the father would be an interesting direction for further studies. |
