Abstract excerpt
Clinical molecular diagnostic centers routinely screen SHH, ZIC2, SIX3 and TGIF for mutations that can help to explain holoprosencephaly and related brain malformations. Here we report a prospective Sanger sequence analysis of 189 unrelated probands referred to our diagnostic lab for genetic testing. We identified 28 novel unique mutations in this group (15%) and no instances of deleterious mutations in two genes...
