Expanding the phenotype for the recurrent p.Ala391Glu variant in FGFR3: Beyond crouzon syndrome and acanthosis nigricans.

Molecular genetics & genomic medicine | 2019

Craniosynostosis, or premature fusion of the skull sutures, is a group of disorders that can present in isolation (nonsyndromic) or be associated with other anomalies (syndromic). Delineation of syndromic craniosynostosis is confounded due to phenotypic overlap, variable expression as well as molecular heterogeneity. We report on an infant who presented at birth with multisuture synostosis, turribrachycephaly, midface hypoplasia, beaked nose, low set ears, a high palate and short squat appearing thumbs, and great toes without deviation. The additional MRI findings of choanal stenosis and a Chiari I malformation suggested a diagnosis of Pfeiffer syndrome. First tier molecular testing did not reveal a pathogenic variant.

This is a list of tools and resources that we have found mentioned in this publication.


DINDEL (tool)

RRID:SCR_001827

Software program for calling small indels from short-read sequence data ("next generation sequence data"). It is currently designed to handle only Illumina data. Dindel takes BAM files with mapped Illumina read data and enables researchers to detect small indels and produce a VCF file of all the variant calls. It has been written in C++ and can be used on Linux-based and Mac computers (it has not been tested on Windows operating systems).

SAMTOOLS (tool)

RRID:SCR_002105

Original SAMTOOLS package has been split into three separate repositories including Samtools, BCFtools and HTSlib. Samtools for manipulating next generation sequencing data used for reading, writing, editing, indexing,viewing nucleotide alignments in SAM,BAM,CRAM format. BCFtools used for reading, writing BCF2,VCF, gVCF files and calling, filtering, summarising SNP and short indel sequence variants. HTSlib used for reading, writing high throughput sequencing data.

KGGSeq (tool)

RRID:SCR_005311

A biological Knowledge-based mining platform for Genomic and Genetic studies using Sequence data. The software platform, constituted of bioinformatics and statistical genetics functions, makes use of valuable biologic resources and knowledge for sequencing-based genetic mapping of variants / genes responsible for human diseases / traits. It facilitates geneticists to fish for the genetic determinants of human diseases / traits in the big sea of DNA sequences. KGGSeq has paid attention to downstream analysis of genetic mapping. The framework was implemented to filter and prioritize genetic variants from whole exome sequencing data.
