Identification of a homozygous frameshift mutation in the FGF3 gene in a consanguineous Iranian family: First report of labyrinthine aplasia, microtia, and microdontia syndrome in Iran and literature review

Abstract Background To date, over 400 syndromes with hearing impairment have been identified which altogether constitute almost 30% of hereditary hearing loss (HL) cases around the globe. Manifested as complete or partial labyrinthine aplasia (severe malformations of the inner ear structure), type I...

description Abstract Background To date, over 400 syndromes with hearing impairment have been identified which altogether constitute almost 30% of hereditary hearing loss (HL) cases around the globe. Manifested as complete or partial labyrinthine aplasia (severe malformations of the inner ear structure), type I microtia (smaller outer ear with shortened auricles), and microdontia (small and widely spaced teeth), labyrinthine aplasia, microtia, and microdontia (LAMM) syndrome (OMIM 610706) is an extremely rare autosomal recessive condition caused by bi‐allelic mutations in the FGF3 gene. Methods Using the whole‐exome sequencing (WES) data of the proband, we analyzed a consanguineous Iranian family with three affected members presenting with congenital bilateral HL, type I microtia, and microdontia. Results We discovered the homozygous deletion c.45delC in the first exon of the FGF3 gene, overlapping a 38.72 Mb homozygosity region in chromosome 11. Further investigations using Sanger sequencing revealed that this variant co‐segregated with the phenotype observed in the family. Conclusion Here, we report the first identified case of LAMM syndrome in Iran, and by identifying a frameshift variant in the first exon of the FGF3 gene, our result will help better clarify the phenotype–genotype relation of LAMM syndrome.
