Novel SBDS mutations caused by gene conversion in Japanese patients with Shwachman-Diamond syndrome.

Abstract excerpt

Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (SDS; OMIM 260400) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, bone marrow dysfunction and metaphyseal chondrodysplasia. SDS is caused by mutations in SBDS, an uncharacterized gene. A previous study in SDS patients largely of European ancestry found that most SBDS mutations occurred within a approximately 240-bp region of exon 2 and resulted...
