Ullah et al 2017 (PMID: 28611547) - 1 Pakistani family with mother and son with Split-hand and foot malformation type 1. A heterozygous missense variant (c.632T>A, p.Val211Glu) in the DLX6 gene was identified in the son but DNA from the mother was not available but the variant was not present in the other healthy family members, in 200 ethnically matched control individuals, 1000 Genomes (0.0%), Exome Aggregation Consortium (0.0%), and in the Human Gene Mutation Database.Created: 18 Oct 2018, 1:59 p.m.

Keep gene Red. From OMIM: split-hand/foot malformation-1 (SHFM1) represent a contiguous gene syndrome caused by deletion, duplication, or rearrangement of chromosome 7q21.3 involving the DSS1 (new gene symbol SEM1), DLX5, and DLX6 genes and possible regulatory elements in the region. Evidence exists that SHFM1 can also be caused by heterozygous mutation in the DLX5 gene.Created: 5 Apr 2018, 12:22 p.m.
