FACL4, a New Gene Encoding Long-Chain Acyl-CoA Synthetase 4, Is Deleted in a Family with Alport Syndrome, Elliptocytosis, and Mental Retardation
1 Feb 1998
Abstract excerpt
We observed a family in which two boys were diagnosed with Alport syndrome, elliptocytosis, and mental retardation and carried a large deletion of the Xq22.3-q23 region, encompassing the COL4A5 gene. This suggests the possibility of a new contiguous gene syndrome. In an attempt to characterize the genes contributing to this complex phenotype, we have isolated a gene encoding a new long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase...
