Menke-Hennekam syndrome; delineation of domain-specific subtypes with distinct clinical and DNA methylation profiles.

ABSTRACT: CREB-binding protein (CBP, encoded by CREBBP) and its paralog E1A-associated protein (p300, encoded by EP300) are involved in histone acetylation and transcriptional regulation. Variants that produce a null allele or disrupt the catalytic domain of either protein cause Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RSTS), while pathogenic missense and in-frame indel variants in parts of exons 30 and 31 cause phenotypes recently described as Menke-Hennekam syndrome (MKHK). To distinguish MKHK subtypes and define their characteristics, molecular and extended clinical data on 82 individuals (54 unpublished) with variants affecting CBP (n = 71) or p300 (n = 11) (NP_004371.2 residues 1,705-1,875 and NP_001420.2 residues 1,668-1,833, respectively) were summarized. Additionally, genome-wide DNA methylation profiles
