T1 |
0-85 |
Sentence |
denotes |
A novel IRF6 nonsense mutation (Y67X) in a German family with Van der Woude syndrome. |
T2 |
86-239 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Van der Woude syndrome (VWS) is the most common type of syndromic orofacial cleft, which accounts for approximately 2% of all cleft lip and palate cases. |
T3 |
240-346 |
Sentence |
denotes |
It is characterised by variable association of lower lip pits, cleft lip and cleft palate, and hypodontia. |
T4 |
347-444 |
Sentence |
denotes |
VWS arises as the result of mutations in the gene encoding interferon regulatory factor 6 (IRF6). |
T5 |
445-553 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The disorder is transmitted in an autosomal dominant manner, with high penetrance and variable expressivity. |
T6 |
554-717 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Very recently, mutations of the IRF6 gene in exons 2-9 have been found in VWS patients, suggesting that this gene plays an important role in orofacial development. |
T7 |
718-781 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We report a novel mutation of the IRF6 gene in a German family. |
T8 |
782-847 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Five out of the 12 persons affected were able to be investigated. |
T9 |
848-914 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The mutation produced a stop codon within exon 4 of the IRF6 gene. |
T10 |
915-1072 |
Sentence |
denotes |
All 5 patients were heterozygous for a base substitution c.201C>A changing the tyrosine codon at amino acid position 67 into a stop codon (p.Y67X) in exon 4. |
T11 |
1073-1317 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The premature stop codon was responsible for a truncated protein lacking parts of the DNA- binding domain and the complete Smad-interferon regulatory factor-binding domain probably essential for interactions with the Smad transcription factors. |
