Abstract

Biallelic mutations of the gene encoding diphthamide biosynthesis 1 (DPH1, NM-001383.3) cause developmental delay, dysmorphic features, sparse hair, and short stature (MIM603527). Only two missense DPH1 mutations have been reported to date. Here, we describe a consanguineous family with two siblings both showing developmental delay, agenesis of the corpus callosum, dysmorphic facial features, sparse hair, brachycephaly, and short stature. By wholeexome sequencing, a homozygous frameshift mutation in DPH1 (c.1227delG, p.[Ala411Argfs91]) was identified, which is likely responsible for the familial condition. The unique clinical features of the affected siblings are cleft palate and absent renal findings. © 2018 The Japan Society of Human Genetics.
