- Borjeson-Forssman-Lehmann syndrome (BFLS) Monarch

PUBMED:

Lower et al (2002) reported two families with Borjeson-Forssman-Lehmann syndrome (BFLS), each with nonsense variants in PHF6, segregating with affected males. Carrier mothers were phenotypically normal and showed 100% skewed X-inactivation. Additional clinical follow up is reported by Turner et al. (PMID: 14756673). In addition, missense variants were detected in affected males from seven unrelated families.

Crawford et al (2006) reported PHF6 variants in five unrelated BFL patients, four males and one female. Two unrelated males had the recurrent p.R342X variant, which was previously published elsewhere. The c.940ARG/p.I314V and c.2TRC/p.M1T (previously reported) variants were detected in other two males, respectively. A de novo c.27_28insA (p.G10fsX21) variant was detected in a female patient with BFLS phenotype with highly (93%) skewed X-inactivation.

Berland et al (2011) identified de novo 15-kb deletion of the terminal 3 exons of PHF6 by microarray study in a female with intellectual disability, irregular teeth, slight body asymmetry, and striated skin pigmentation. In retrospect, her phenotype resembled that of males with BFLS. Highly skewed X-inactivation increased the likelihood of an X-linked cause of her condition.

Zweier et at (2013) detected de novo variants, including two truncating variants and two duplications of exons 4 and 5, in female patents with variable ID and a distinct appearance of sparse hair, remarkable facial features, hypoplastic nails, and teeth anomalies quantitative real-time PCR and multiplex ligation dependent probe amplification (MLPA). All the patients in this cohort displayed a recognizable phenotype that overlaps but was not identical with the phenotype observed in male patients with BFLS.

Wieczorek et al (2013) identified a de novo 1-bp deletion (c.677delG, p.Gly226Glufs∗53) and a de novo missense variant (c.914G>T, p.Cys305Phe) in PHF6 in two female patients initially thought to have Coffin Siris syndrome using whole genome sequencing.

Di Donato et al (2014) described a 100 kb deletion of Xq26.2, including last 5 exons of PHF6 and exons 1-7 of HPRT (excluded in the mother, paternal DNA was not available) in a female patient with intellectual disability and a phenotype resembling Coffin Siris syndrome (CSS) and distinct from BFLS. Another female patient had a mosaic 270 kb deletion of Xq26.2, including entire PHF6. This mosaic female presented with a very mild phenotype.
The loss-of-function and triplosensitivity ratings for genes on the X chromosome are made in the context of a male genome to account for the effects of hemizygous duplications or nullizygous deletions. In contrast, disruption of some genes on the X chromosome causes male lethality and the ratings of dosage sensitivity instead take into account the phenotype in female individuals. Factors that may affect the severity of phenotypes associated with X-linked disorders include the presence of variable copies of the X chromosome (i.e. 47,XXY or 45,X) and skewed X-inactivation in females.
