Abstract
ObjectiveTo identify potential mutations of the CLS gene in a Chinese pedigree affected with Coffin-Lowry syndrome.
MethodsWhole exome sequencing was applied to detect potential mutation in the proband, and the result was verified by Sanger sequencing.
ResultsThe proband was found to carry a c. 966_967delAA (p.Arg323Thr fs*11) deletional mutation in the RPS6KA3 gene. The same mutation was also found in his mother.
ConclusionThe c. 966_967delAA (p.Arg323Thr fs*11) deletional mutation of the RPS6KA3 gene probably underlies the disorder in this pedigree.
Key words:
Coffin-Lowry syndrome; RPS6KA3 gene; Mutation
