A novel small deletion of LMX1B in a large Chinese family with nail-patella syndrome
2019
Background
Nail-patella syndrome (NPS) is an autosomal dominant developmental disorder most commonly characterized by dyplasia of nail or patella, the radial head or the humeral head hypoplasia, and, frequently ocular abnormalities and renal disease. It is caused by heterozygous loss-of-function mutations in the LMX1B gene, which encodes LIM homeodomain transcription factor and is essential for regulating the dorsal limb fate.
