Missense mutation of <i>TRPS1</i> in a family of tricho‐rhino‐phalangeal syndrome type III

Abstract

We report a new Japanese family with tricho-rhino-phalangeal syndrome type III (TRPS III) who have a missense mutation (Arg908Gln) of theTRPS1 gene (TRPS1) in affected individuals of the family. This study supports the notion that TRPS III results from missense mutations in exon 6 of TRPS1.
