Abstract
Nail patella syndrome is a autosomal dominant disorder caused by a genetic alteration in LMX1B. We identified a novel heterozygous in-frame indel mutation of LMX1B in a family of Nail patella syndrome. Impaired transcriptional activity but not dominant negative effect of mutant LMX1B were revealed using a transcriptional reporter assay, indicating that the mutation caused nail patella syndrome in this family via haploinsufficiency of the transcriptional activity of LMX1B.Entities:
