Evidence of postzygotic mosaicism in a transmitted form of Conradi-Hunermann-Happle syndrome associated with a novel EBP mutation.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: X-linked dominant chondrodysplasia punctata, also known as Conradi-Hünermann-Happle syndrome, is a rare skeletal dysplasia characterized by short stature, craniofacial defects, cataracts, ichthyosis, coarse hair, and alopecia. Conradi-Hünermann-Happle syndrome is caused by mutations in the gene EBP encoding Δ(8)-Δ(7) sterol isomerase emopamil-binding protein. Random X-inactivation could account for...
