摘要目的:探究1个多发性骨性连接综合征1型(SYNS1)家系的临床表型与致病性变异。方法:选取2019年8月就诊于郑州大学第一附属医院儿科门诊的1个汉族SYNS1家系为研究对象。采集家系相关临床资料，提取各家系成员的外周血基因组DNA，进行全外显子组测序(WES)和全基因组测序(WGS)。结果:该家系共3代14人，其中6人表现为传导性耳聋或混合性耳聋，同时合并近端指间关节粘连、鼻根宽平、鼻翼发育不良、弱视、斜视、短指、足趾分隔不全，与SYNS1的典型症状相符。WES未发现先证者及其父母存在 NOG基因编码区致病性单碱基变异与插入缺失变异(InDel)，但是先证者及其母亲 NOG基因及相邻基因区域存在大片段杂合缺失。WGS进一步确定先证者染色体17q22区存在约1.0 Mb杂合片段缺失(chr17：54171786_55143998)，该区域包含 NOG基因。参照美国医学遗传学与基因组学学会(ACMG)相关标准与指南，该拷贝数变异(CNV)判定为致病性变异。 结论:NOG基因及其相邻区域的杂合缺失可能是该SYNS1家系的遗传学病因，丰富了中国人群的 NOG基因变异和临床表型图谱。在常规测序方法未发现致病变异的SYNS1患者中，应对CNV进行分析。

abstractsObjective:To explore the clinical and genetic characteristics of a Chinese pedigree affected with Multiple synostoses syndrome type 1 (SYNS1).Methods:Clinical data of the proband and her family members were collected. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) and whole-genome sequencing (WGS) were carried out for the proband and her parents.Results:The pedigree has comprised of 14 members from three generations, of whom six had manifested hearing loss, with other symptoms including proximal symphalangism, hemicylindrical nose, amblyopia, strabismus, brachydactyly, incomplete syndactyly, which fulfilled the diagnostic criteria for SYNS1. WES had detected no pathogenic single nucleotide variants and insertion-deletion (InDel) in the coding region of the NOG gene, whilst copy number variation (CNV) analysis indicated that there was a heterozygous deletion involving the NOG gene. WGS revealed a heterozygous deletion (54171786_55143998) in 17q22 of the proband. The CNV was classified as pathogenic based on the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG). Conclusion:The heterozygous deletion in 17p22 involving the NOG gene probably underlay the pathogenesis of SYNS1 in this pedigree. Above finding has enriched the mutational spectrum of NOG. CNV should be considered when conventional sequencing has failed to detect any pathogenic variants in such patients.
