Gene: [04p163/WHCR] Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome candidate 1; Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome (MIM:194190); [WHS WHSC1 ]
HET |
[1] According to Campbell-1989 and Ivens-1990, patients with
Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome have an intersticial deletion of segment
4p16.1. It is assumed that the specificity of the clinical picture may
be accounted for by the absence of a homeosis gene MSX1
(GEM:04p161/MSX1). This hypothesis has not
yet been confirmed,
therefore the HGM Catalogue describes the locus WHCR as independent
one identified by cytogenetic methods.
[2] Fryns-1989 described a new syndrome similar to WHS but different in some features, with deletion in 4p15.3-p14 and undamaged segment 4p16." |
