Abstract
BACKGROUND: Congenital scoliosis (CS) is defined as a lateral curvature of the spine due to the vertebral malformations and has an incidence of 0.5-1/1,000 births. We previously examined TBX6 in Japanese CS patients and revealed that approximately 10% of CS was caused by TBX6 mutations. However, the genetic cause of remaining CS is unknown.Entities:

Figure 1LFNG mutations in a patient with congenital scoliosis. (a,b) Direct sequencing of PCR amplicons from the patient's genomic DNA showing: (a) c.467T>G (p.Leu156Arg) and (b) c.856C>T (p.Arg286Trp). Nucleotide numbering uses +1 as the A of the ATG translation initiation codon in the reference sequence, with the initiation codon as codon 1. (c) The positions of the missense variants in the LFNG cDNA. c.467T>G and c.856C>T were located in the Fringe domain. Previously reported missense mutation, c.564C>A, was also located in the domain
Figure 2Protein level and GlcNAc‐transferase activity of recombinant LFNG expressed in HEK293T cells. (a) Western blot analysis of the recombinant LFNG proteins: wild‐type, L156R (p.Leu156Arg), and R286W (p.Arg286Trp). The purified recombinant LFNG from cell lysate was detected with the anti‐FLAG and fluorescence‐conjugated anti‐mouse IgG antibodies. Asterisks indicate heavy and light chains of the anti‐FLAG antibody from the anti‐FLAG agarose resin for purification. (b) GlcNAc‐transferase activity of the recombinant LFNG in the cell lysate. Both L156R and R286W showed significantly decreased enzyme activities. Values are the means ± SE (n = 3). *p < 0.0001 versus the wild‐type was calculated by the Student's t test
Figure 3Radiographic phenotype of the congenital scoliosis patient with LFNG mutations. (a) The standing spinal antero‐posterior radiograph. The patient has severe scoliosis with a Cobb angle of 70° at T9‐L3. (b) Three‐dimensional CT (left: front view, right: back view). Multiple congenital vertebral malformations including hemivertebrae, block vertebrae, and butterfly vertebrae are noted. Multiple rib malformations including hypoplasia and fused ribs are also found
