C5orf42 is the major gene responsible for OFD syndrome type VI

Abstract: Oral-facial-digital syndrome type VI (OFD VI) is a recessive ciliopathy defined by two diagnostic criteria: molar tooth sign (MTS) and one or more of the following: (1) tongue hamartoma (s) and/or additional frenula and/or upper lip notch; (2) mesoaxial polydactyly of one or more hands or feet; (3) hypothalamic hamartoma. Because of the MTS, OFD VI belongs to the "Joubert syndrome related disorders". Its genetic aetiology remains largely unknown although mutations in the TMEM216 gene, responsible for Joubert (… Show more

“…[24][25][26] One of our cases showed polydactyly of all limbs that was postaxial in all instances (in the literature, preaxial and mesoaxial polydactyly is also reported frequently). 24,26,27 In another case reported in the literature (from a consanguineous mating), an occipital meningocele and abnormal electroretinogram (ERG) were described, 25 neither of which were present in our cases.…”

“…28 There has been some debate in the literature whether C5orf42 may be the major gene for OFD VI. 26,27 None of the six cases in our cohort showed typical signs of OFD VI, whereas no deleterious variants were found in any of the genes tested in the one case in our cohort with the OFD VI phenotype.…”

“…Interestingly, two OFDVI patients were reported to have a homozygous mutation in TMEM216 , a gene implicated in JSRD and Meckel-Gruber syndrome (MKS) [47], and a mutation in the OFD1 transcript has been reported in an OFDVI case [48]. More recently a high frequency of mutations in C5ORF42 has been reported in OFDVI patients [49]. One out of the 71 OFD1 cases that we have analyzed displayed a typical MTS.…”

“…Because both JS and hydrolethalus syndrome are known to be associated with KIF7 and KIAA0586 (13)(14)(15)(16), HYLS1 is the third gene associated with JS and hydrolethalus syndrome. This study also suggested that HYLS1 is the fourth gene associated with OFD VI after C5orf42, TMEM216, and OFD1 (9,17,18). These observations illustrate clinical variability in ciliopathies and the concept that lethal ciliopathies represent the 'extreme phenotypes' of viable disorders, as in case of the lethal Meckel syndrome.…”
