Mutated MESP2 causes spondylocostal dysostosis in humans.
Spondylocostal dysostosis (SCD) is a term given to a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by abnormal vertebral segmentation (AVS). We have previously identified mutations in the Delta-like 3 (DLL3) gene as a major cause of autosomal recessive spondylocostal dysostosis. DLL3 encodes a ligand for the Notch receptor and, when mutated, defective somitogenesis occurs resulting in a consis...
متن کاملCongenital hemangioma in spondylocostal dysostosis: a novel association*
Congenital hemangioma is a benign tumor caused by dysfunction in embryogenesis and vasculogenesis, which progresses during fetal life to manifest as fully developed at birth. Although hemangiomas are the most common tumor of infancy, rapidly involuting congenital hemangioma has not been described in spondylocostal dysostosis. I report the novel association of congenital hemangioma and spondyloc...
متن کاملAutosomal dominant spondylocostal dysostosis is caused by mutation in TBX6.
In humans, congenital spinal defects occur with an incidence of 0.5-1 per 1000 live births. One of the most severe syndromes with such defects is spondylocostal dysostosis (SCD). Over the past decade, the genetic basis of several forms of autosomal recessive SCD cases has been solved with the identification of four causative genes (DLL3, MESP2, LFNG and HES7). Autosomal dominant forms of SCD ha...
متن کاملSpondylothoracic and spondylocostal dysostosis. Hereditary forms of spinal deformity.
Two siblings with spondylothoracic dysostosis, and two siblings and three unrelated children with spondylocostal dysostosis are described. Both conditions are inherited and characterised by malformed thoracic and lumbar vertebrae. Spondylothoracic dysostosis produces "crab-like" deformities of the ribs, and is usually fatal during early infancy due to respiratory failure. Spondylocostal dysosto...
متن کاملDynamic expression patterns of the pudgy/spondylocostal dysostosis gene Dll3 in the developing nervous system
Defects in the Notch pathway ligand Dll3 have been identified in the mouse pudgy (Dll3(pu)) and human spondylocostal dysostosis (SD, MIM 277300) mutations. Although these mutations are primarily associated with segmental defects in the axial skeleton and somitic patterning, they also exhibit cranial neurological defects. Therefore we have looked at the expression of Dll3 in the developing mouse...
