A 5.8 kb deletion removing the entire MNX1 gene in a Norwegian family with Currarino syndrome.

Abstract excerpt

Currarino syndrome (CS) is a clinically variable disorder characterized by anorectal, sacral and presacral anomalies. It is associated with loss-of-function mutations in the motor neuron and pancreas homeobox 1 (MNX1) gene. Inheritance is autosomal dominant, expression variable and penetrance incomplete. We describe a Norwegian family with typical CS in which a heterozygous deletion removes the entire MNX1 gene...
