Associated with Bohring-Opitz syndrome 605039 in OMIM and Gene2Phenotype (confirmed).
PMID: 21706002 - Hoischen et al. 2011 - 7 cases - sequenced 13 unrelated patients with Bohring-Opitz syndrome and found de novo heterozygous mutations in 7 of them. All 7 showed a typical BOS posture with flexed elbows and wrists and ulnar deviation of wrists and metacarpophalangeal joints. Syndactyly was observed in 3 out of the 7. Fixed contractures were observed in 6/7.
PMID: 22419483 - Magini et al. 2012 - In 2 unrelated patients with classic features of Bohring-Opitz syndrome, identified 2 different de novo heterozygous truncating mutations in the ASXL1 gene not previously reported. Patient 1 - axial hypotonia, limitation of elbow extension, right talipes valgus, and typical facial appearance: prominent forehead, hemangioma over the forehead and glabella, exophthalmos, ptosis, hypertelorism, low‐set, and posteriorly angulated ears, long philtrum, and everted lower lip. Patient 2 had multiple phenotypic features that include flexion deformities of upper limbs joints, at elbow and wrist level with ulnar deviation of both hands, overlapping digits, abduced thumb, clenched fists, deep single palmar crease, typical BOS posture and hypertonia, with contractures at hips, knees, and ankles. Talo‐valgus deformity of feet was presentCreated: 6 Aug 2019, 3:08 p.m. | Last Modified: 6 Aug 2019, 3:08 p.m.
