Abstract excerpt
Holoprosencephaly (HPE) is genetically heterogeneous with four genes, SIX3, SHH, TGIF, and ZIC2 that have been identified to date and that are altered in 12% of patients. To analyze this prevalence in a South American population-based sample (57 HPE cases in 244,511 live and still births or 1 in 4300), we performed a mutational study of these genes in 30 unrelated children (26 newborns and 4 non-newborns) with...
