Mixed Phenotype of Langer–Giedion's and Cornelia de Lange's Syndromes in an 8q23.3-q24.1 Microdeletion without TRPS1 Deletion

Abstract

Langer–Giedion's syndrome (LGS) or trichorhinophalangeal syndrome type II (TRPS II; MIM:150230) is a contiguous gene deletion syndrome caused by the haploinsufficiency of the TRPS1 and EXT1 genes. Cornelia de Lange's syndrome (CdLS) is a genetically heterogeneous dysmorphic syndrome where heterozygous mutations of RAD21 gene have been associated with a mild clinical presentation (CDLS type 4; MIM: 614701). We report a female patient with a 2.3-Mb interstitial deletion at 8q23.3-q24.1 encompassing EXT1 and RAD21 genes but not TRPS1. Clinical findings in this patient are correlated with a mixed phenotype of LGS and CdLS type 4.
