Mutations in KIF27, GNAS and IFT140 genes in a patient with VACTERL association: a case report

VACTERL association is a rare genetic disorder involving at least three of the following congenital malformations: vertebral defects (V), anal atresia (A), cardiac defects (C), trachea-oesophageal fistula with or without oesophageal atresia (TE), renal anomalies (R) and limb abnormalities (L). Until...

description VACTERL association is a rare genetic disorder involving at least three of the following congenital malformations: vertebral defects (V), anal atresia (A), cardiac defects (C), trachea-oesophageal fistula with or without oesophageal atresia (TE), renal anomalies (R) and limb abnormalities (L). Until now, the aetiology of VACTERL association is unknown, particularly at the molecular level. Here, we performed whole exome sequencing (WES) of an infant with VACTERL association. The patient was delivered prematurely at 30 weeks and had 4/6 of the VACTERL malformations. Trio-WES analysis was performed using Torrent Suite and ANNOVAR. Polymorphisms with an allele frequency of >0.01 were excluded, and the remaining variants were filtered based on de novo mutations, autosomal recessive, X-linked and di-genic inheritance traits.
