Rare cases of congenital arthrogryposis multiplex caused by novel recurrent CHRNG mutations

Abstract: Multiple pterygium syndrome (MPS) is an autosomal recessively inherited condition that becomes evident before birth, with pterygium at multiple joints and akinesia. There are two forms of this syndrome that are differentiated by clinical severity: the milder form, Escobar type (OMIM#265000), and the more severe form, lethal type (OMIM#253290). Mutations in CHRNG, which encode the acetylcholine receptor gamma subunit, cause most cases of MPS. Here, we present three patients from two unrelated families showing m… Show more

“…The three criteria to be met by that papers in order to be eligible were: (a) patients with nonlethal MPS or ES, (b) detected CHRNG mutation/s, and (c) availability of sufficient clinical data of every patient. Ten papers with 57 cases met the established criteria (Al Kaissi et al, ; Bayram et al, ; Bissinger & Koch, ; Hoffmann et al, ; Kariminejad et al, ; Morgan et al, ; Robinson et al, ; Seo et al, ; Vogt et al, ). All cases collected are summarized in Table , Supporting Information Table S1, and Supporting Information Figure S1.…”

“…The fetal AchR establishes a connection between a muscle and akson and takes part in the neural and muscular organogenesis. The letal type of disease is characterized be mutations in CHRNA1 and CHRND genes encoding alfa1-and beta-subunit AchR [7,8].…”

“…Capture of genomic DNA, next‐generation sequencing for WES, and data processing were performed as previously reported [Seo et al, ]. Among the called variants, common variants listed in public databases (dbSNP build 137; 1000 Genomes Project release 10.31.2012; NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project) were excluded.…”
