De novo enhancer deletion of LMX1B produces a mild nail-patella clinical phenotype
In this study, we present a family with four affected individuals across two generations with a deletion spanning a conserved upstream LMX1B-binding sequence. This deletion is de novo in the mother of three affected children. Furthermore, in this family, the manifestations appear limited to the nails and limbs, and therefore may reflect an attenuated phenotype of the classic Nail-Patella phenotype that includes ophthalmological and renal manifestations.PMID:37899549 | DOI:10.1111/cge.14447
