Title:
COFFIN-SIRIS SYNDROME DETECTION METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/083779
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a novel means that enables genetic diagnosis of cases of Coffin-Siris syndrome (CSS) which cannot be explained by the established responsible gene. Close analysis of 92 CSS patients by the present applicants without total exome sequencing resulted in the discovery of two types of de novo mutation in SOX11 genes from two patients having no blood relation. The SOX11 mutations in said patients were identified as the CSS causal mutations. CSS is an autosomal dominant disease and is detected when a harmful mutation is detected in at least one allele of an SOX11 gene.
