Abstract

AIM: To identify the pathogenic gene variant in a family with lacrimo-auriculo-dento-digital syndrome [LADD (MIM 149730)] showing congenital lacrimal duct dysplasia as the main clinical manifestation and lay the foundation for future research on the pathogenic gene. METHODS: Ophthalmological examinations, including slit-lamp biomicroscopy and lacrimal duct probing, and computed tomography dacryocystography (CT-DCG) were performed for all participants. The family pedigree was drawn, genetic features were analyzed, and the genomic DNA of the subjects was extracted. Pathogenic genes were screened via whole exome sequencing (WES) and confirmed using Sanger sequencing. RESULTS: Six patients belonged to this three-generation family, and their clinical manifestations included congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction, congenital absence of lacrimal puncta and canaliculi, lacrimal fistulae, and limb deformities. This pattern indicates autosomal dominant inheritance. Diagnosis was based on the clinical characteristics of LADD syndrome, which presented in all the patients in this family. A novel frameshift mutation in the FGF10 gene (NM_004465.1), c.234dupC (p.Trp79Leus*15), was identified in all patients via WES. The variant was confirmed by Sanger sequencing and classified as a “pathogenic mutation” according to the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) variant interpretation guidelines. CONCLUSION: A novel frameshift mutation in the FGF10 gene is found in all patients. This finding helps this family with LADD syndrome receiving a more accurate clinical diagnosis and genetic counseling by extending the mutation range of the FGF10 gene.

The expression levels of CD80 and CD86 in DCs cultured in the granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor + IL-4 + stem cell factor + Flt-3 ligand + sCD40L group were significantly increased compared with those in the control group, as assessed by flow cytometry and confocal laser scanning microscopy (P < 0.05).Conclusion: A variety of cytokines in combination with sCD40L can promote the proliferation of cord blood-derived DCs and induce their maturation as well as stimulating a specific antitumor response.Keywords: antitumor response, cytokine, immunotherapy, cord blood, IL-10, TGF-&beta
