Appl Clin Genet. 2018 Nov 23:11:157-162. doi: 10.2147/TACG.S183418. eCollection 2018.

Abstract

Holt-Oram syndrome (HOS) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by congenital cardiac defects and congenital deformities of the upper limbs. Herein, we report the case of a 2-year-old patient presenting with clinical diagnostic criteria of HOS with interatrial and interventricular communication associated with hip dysplasia and upper limb reduction composed of radial ray anomaly. A novel de novo, potentially pathogenic variant in the TBX5 gene at NM_181486.2:c.243-1G>C was identified.

Keywords: Holt-Oram syndrome; TBX5; de novo mutation; heart-hand syndrome.
