Abstract

We report a Japanese girl with Coffin-Lowry syndrome phenotype such as hypertelorism, hypodontia, and tapering fingers and 46,XX,t(X;11)(p22;p15)dn. Whole genome sequencing revealed RPS6KA3 disruption by the translocation, and X-inactivation analysis indicated preferential inactivation of the normal X chromosome. The results explain the development of an X-linked disease in this girl.

Keywords: Coffin‐Lowry syndrome; RPS6KA3; translocation; whole genome sequencing.
