A Complex Intrachromosomal Rearrangement Disrupting IRF6 in a Family with Popliteal Pterygium and Van der Woude Syndromes
Clefts of the lip and/or palate (CL/P) are considered the most common form of congenital anomalies occurring either in isolation or in association with other clinical features. Van der woude syndrome (VWS) is associated with about 2% of all CL/P cases and is further characterized by having lower lip...

description | Clefts of the lip and/or palate (CL/P) are considered the most common form of congenital anomalies occurring either in isolation or in association with other clinical features. Van der woude syndrome (VWS) is associated with about 2% of all CL/P cases and is further characterized by having lower lip pits. Popliteal pterygium syndrome (PPS) is a more severe form of VWS, normally characterized by orofacial clefts, lower lip pits, skin webbing, skeletal anomalies and syndactyly of toes and fingers. Both syndromes are inherited in an autosomal dominant manner, usually caused by heterozygous mutations in the Interferon Regulatory Factor 6 (IRF6) gene. Here we report the case of a two-generation family where the index presented with popliteal pterygium syndrome while both the father and sister had clinical features of van der woude syndrome, but without any point mutations detected by re-sequencing of known gene panels or microarray testing. Using whole genome sequencing (WGS) followed by local de novo assembly, we discover and validate a copy-neutral, 429 kb complex intra-chromosomal rearrangement in the long arm of chromosome 1, disrupting the IRF6 gene. This variant is copy-neutral, novel against publicly available databases, and segregates in the family in an autosomal dominant pattern. This finding suggests that missing heritability in rare diseases may be due to complex genomic rearrangements that can be resolved by WGS and de novo assembly, helping deliver answers to patients where no genetic etiology was identified by other means. |
