Synergistic Variants in C-terminal Binding Protein 1 and Alkaline Phosphatase Lead to Mandibular Hypoplasia Through Impaired Wnt Signaling: An Oligogenic Model

Craniofacial malformations account for one third of all congenital anomalies. Genetic factors play a vital role, yet the list of causal genes and their mechanisms are far from complete. As part of a larger effort to sequence patients with micrognathia and Pierre-Robin sequence, we identified two candidate pathogenic missense variants in C-terminal binding protein 1 (CTBP1) along with a…
