Identification of a novel nonsense NOG mutation in a patient with stapes ankylosis and symphalangism spectrum disorder.

ABSTRACT: Multiple bone disorders due to mutations in the human noggin (NOG) causes a variety of phenotypes. Hearing impairment due to stapes ankylosis secondary to bony degeneration is also a feature of these syndromes. We describe the case of an individual in a Japanese family with conductive hearing loss due to stapes ankylosis and hyperopia and dactylosymphysis. We revealed a novel NOG mutation, NM_005450.6:c.222 C > A / p.Tyr74*, and confirmed genetic significance.
