A new GJA1 (connexin 43) mutation causing oculodentodigital dysplasia associated to uncommon features.

Abstract excerpt

Oculodentodigital dysplasia (ODDD) is an autosomal dominant disorder that includes a clinical spectrum of craniofacial, neurologic, limb, and ocular malformations. The disease is caused by heterozygous mutations in the 6q22-q23 located GJA1 gene, that encodes connexin 43 (Cx43). In this paper we describe a novel Cx43 mutation (G2V) found in a Mexican eight-year-old boy. This de novo mutation predicts a missense...
