Novel TFAP2A mutation in a Japanese family with Branchio-oculo-facial syndrome

Year: 2018

Type: article

Abstract: Branchio-oculo-facial syndrome (BOFS) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by craniofacial, ocular, and ectodermal anomalies. BOFS is caused by mutation of the transcription factor AP2-alpha gene ( TFAP2A ). We performed detailed genetic analysis of a Japanese family with clinically suspected BOFS and identified a novel missense mutation resulting in a predicted amino-acid substitution in the highly conserved basic DNA-binding domain of TFAP2A (NM_003220.2:c.699A>C).
