Co-segregation of trichorhinophalangeal syndrome with a t(8;13)(q23.3;q21.31) f...

Trichorhinophalangeal syndrome type I (TRPS I) is a rare autosomal dominant syndrome caused by haploinsufficiency of TRPS1 due to point mutations or deletions. Here we report the first familial TRPS I due to a t(8;13)(q23.3;q21.31) translocation breakpoint <100 kb from the 5’ end of TRPS1. Based on the additional abnormalities observed exclusively in the index patient that are mainly compatible with clinical fe...

Tricho-rhino-phalangeal syndrome type I (TRPS I; OMIM 190350) and type II (OMIM 150230) are two forms of the rare autosomal-dominant TRP malformation syndrome localised in 8q23.3–24.1. TRPS I is generally caused by point mutations or deletions of the TRPS1 gene, whereas type II is characterised by the presence of multiple cartilage exostoses (EXT) and deletions comprising the TRPS1 and EXT1 genes. In the presen...
