Deletion of C2orf34, PREPL and SLC3A1 causes atypical hypotonia–cystinuria syndrome

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Hypotonia-cystinuria syndrome (HCS) and 2p21 deletion syndrome are two recessive contiguous gene deletion syndromes associated with cystinuria type I. The deletions differ in size and the number of genes involved. In HCS patients, only SLC3A1 and PREPL are disrupted. In the 2p21 deletion syndrome, two additional genes (C2orf34 and PPM1B) are lost. OBJECTIVE: Clinical and molecular analysis of two...
