Autosomal recessive Adams-Oliver syndrome caused by homozygous mutation in EOGT, encoding an EGF domain-specific O-GlcNAc transferase.

ABSTRACT: Autosomal recessive Adams-Oliver syndrome was diagnosed in three remotely related Bedouin consanguineous families. Genome-wide linkage analysis ruled out association with known Adams-Oliver syndrome genes, identifying a single-homozygosity ∼1.8-Mb novel locus common to affected individuals (LOD score 3.37). Whole-exome sequencing followed by Sanger sequencing identified only a single mutation within this locus, shared by all affected individuals and found in patients from five additional apparently unrelated Bedouin families: a 1-bp deletion mutation in a predicted alternative splice variant of EOGT, leading to a putative truncated protein. RT-PCR demonstrated that the EOGT-predicted alternative splice variant is ubiquitously expressed. EOGT encodes EGF-domain-specific O-linked N-acetylglu
