A novel translation re-initiation mechanism for the p63 gene revealed by amino-terminal truncating mutations in Rapp-Hodgkin/Hay-Wells-like syndromes

Abstract excerpt

Missense mutations in the 3' end of the p63 gene are associated with either RHS (Rapp-Hodgkin syndrome) or AEC (Ankyloblepharon Ectodermal defects Cleft lip/palate) syndrome. These mutations give rise to mutant p63alpha protein isoforms with dominant effects towards their wild-type counterparts. Here we report four RHS/AEC-like patients with mutations (p.Gln9fsX23, p.Gln11X, p.Gln16X), that introduce premature...
