Abstract

A sporadic and a familial case with multiple synostosis (symphalangism syndrome) are described with the demonstration of other symptoms (e.g. fusion of middle ear ossicles with conductive deafness). The differential-diagnosis of about 15 syndromes including symphalangism is discussed.

The human B22 subunit of the NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase maps to the region of chromosome 8 involved in branchio-oto-renal syndrome.

To identify candidate genes for Branchio-oto-renal (BOR) syndrome, we have made use of a set of cosmids that map to 8q13.3, which has previously been shown to be involved in this syndrome. These cosmids were used as genomic clones in the attempts to isolate corresponding cDNAs using a modified hybrid selection technique. cDNAs from the region were identified and used to search for sequence similarity in human or other species. One cDNA clone was found to have 89% sequence similarity to the bovine B22 subunit of NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase, a mitochondrial protein in the respiratory electron transport chain. Given the history of other mitochondrial mutations being involved in hearing loss syndromes, this gene should be considered a strong candidate for involvement in BOR.

Genomic structure of the human PAX2 gene.

PAX2 is one of nine PAX genes that have been described in vertebrates. Each PAX gene contains a conserved paired box domain that was first identified in Drosophila. PAX2 encodes a transcription factor that has a critical role in the development of the urogenital tract, the eyes, and the CNS. Recently, we reported a mutation of PAX2 in patients with optic nerve coloboma, vesicoureteric reflux, and renal anomalies. To facilitate further analysis of PAX2 mutations in human disease, we have now determined the complete structure of the human PAX2 gene. Five genomic lambda clones containing human PAX2 gene sequences were isolated. Sequencing and restriction mapping of these clones showed that human PAX2 was composed of 12 exons spanning approximately 70 kb. Two alternatively spliced exons and a dinuclotide repeat polymorphism were also determined in PAX2. These data will be useful in characterizing the role of PAX2 in human disease.
