Novel UBE3B mutations: report of eight patients with Kaufman oculocerebrofacial syndrome with additional clinical findings from a highly consanguineous population

Biallelic mutations in UBE3B cause Kaufman oculocerebrofacial syndrome (KOS; OMIM 244450) with a wide range of clinical manifestations. In this study, we employed genetic analyses including homozygosity mapping, candidate gene sequencing, whole exome sequencing, and confirmatory Sanger sequencing on...

Description
Summary:Biallelic mutations in UBE3B cause Kaufman oculocerebrofacial syndrome (KOS; OMIM 244450) with a wide range of clinical manifestations. In this study, we employed genetic analyses including homozygosity mapping, candidate gene sequencing, whole exome sequencing, and confirmatory Sanger sequencing on eight patients from three unrelated consanguineous families. Our analysis yielded three different novel variants in UBE3B: a missense substitution [NM_130466.4: c.2975C>T; (p.Pro992Leu)] in the HECT domain in family 1, a 3-bp deletion within exon 14 [c.1692_1694delCTC; (p.Ser565del)] leading to removal of a serine residue in family 2, and a splice donor site variant in intron eight of UBE3B (c.630 + 1G>T) in family 3. Blepharophimosis, telecanthus, ptosis, intellectual disability and abnormal lipid profile were similar to those found in previously reported KOS patients. Longitudinal follow-up revealed rather marfanoid body habitus of the patients in family 1. This study reports eight patients from Saudi Arabia with novel deleterious variants in UBE3B and adds to the phenotypic spectrum of KOS.
