چکیده
|
Tibial hemimelia is a rare, debilitating and often sporadic congenital deficiency. in syndromic cases, mutations of a sonic hedgehog (shh) enhancer have been identified. here we describe an ~5 kb deletion within the shh repressor gli3 in two patients with bilateral tibial hemimelia. this deletion results in a truncated gli3 protein that lacks a dna-binding domain and cannot repress hedgehog signaling. these findings strengthen the concept that tibial hemimelia arises because of failure to restrict shh activity to the posterior aspect of the limb bud.
