Li‐Campeau syndrome (LICAS) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by developmental delay, intellectual disability, genital anomalies, congenital heart defects, and dysmorphic features. LICAS is caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in the UBR7 gene, acting as an E3 ubiquitin‐protein ligase. Using exome sequencing (ES), we identified a homozygous novel pathogenic splice site variation c.1185+1G>C in UBR7 in a 32‐month‐old male from a nonconsanguineous Turkish family with clinical features of LICAS. Sanger sequencing revealed the heterozygous state of parents for this variant and confirmed the co‐segregation study. The variant may lead to the loss of function of UBR7 and is in a highly conserved residue. Bioinformatic prediction analysis using in silico algorithms supports the pathogenic effect of the splice site variant in the UBR7.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
