Genes affected

GLI3 (HGNC:4319): (GLI family zinc finger 3) This gene encodes a protein which belongs to the C2H2-type zinc finger proteins subclass of the Gli family. They are characterized as DNA-binding transcription factors and are mediators of Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling. The protein encoded by this gene localizes in the cytoplasm and activates patched Drosophila homolog (PTCH) gene expression. It is also thought to play a role during embryogenesis. Mutations in this gene have been associated with several diseases, including Greig cephalopolysyndactyly syndrome, Pallister-Hall syndrome, preaxial polydactyly type IV, and postaxial polydactyly types A1 and B.

Collection Method: research

c.750delC in heterozygous state transmitting in the family and co-segregating with the disorder suggesting it to be the causal for the GCPS phenotype in the family. In silico analysis suggests that this mutation creates a truncated GLI3 protein resulting in its haploinsufficiency leading to GCPS syndrome. Furthermore, genotype-phenotype correlation is supported by the mutation as it lies in the amino terminal domain of the protein. -
