Heterozygous 17-bp deletion in the forkhead transcription factor gene, FOXL2, in a Japanese family with blepharophimosis-ptosis-epicanthus inversus syndrome

Abstract: We examined mutations in the forkhead transcription factor gene, FOXL2, in three members of a Japanese family with autosomal dominant blepharophimosis-ptosis-epicanthus inversus syndrome (BPES) and in 100 healthy controls. The FOXL2 was analyzed by direct genomic sequencing. A novel 17-bp deletion at nucleotides 1092-1108 in FOXL2 was found in the three affected patients. No mutation was found in any of the 100 healthy controls. The 17-bp deletion in FOXL2 may be involved in the pathogenesis of BPES in Japanes… Show more

“…There is a proline tract at this position and the mutation results in a H291fsX361 frameshift truncating the predicted protein. A deletion mutation involving the same bases has been reported in a Japanese BPES patient [Yamada et al, 2001]. Two additional changes were also observed in this individual.…”

“…To date, a total of 106 unique intragenic FOXL2 mutations (i.e. different mutations that are unique to the world-wide collection of gene variants) have been identified in 206 unrelated BPES families from different ethnic origin [Bell et al, 2001;Cha et al, 2003;Crisponi et al, 2001Crisponi et al, , 2002De Baere et al, 2001Dollfus et al, 2003;Fokstuen et al, 2003;Kosaki et al, 2002;Kumar et al, 2004;Li et al, 2005;Nallathambi et al, 2007Nallathambi et al, , 2008Or et al, 2006;Raile et al, 2005;Ramírez-Castro et al, 2002;Tang et al, 2006;Udar et al, 2003;Vincent et al, 2005;Yamada et al, 2001] (this study).

“…Furthermore, a classification of FOXL2 mutations, according to their effects on the putative proteins, has been proposed and two mutational hotspots (909-938dup30 and 1080-1096dup17) were identified (13). Recently, several FOXL2 mutations were reported in BPES patients (14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19).…”
