RAB23 Mutations in Carpenter Syndrome Imply an Unexpected Role for Hedgehog Signaling in Cranial-Suture Development and Obesity
Open accessAbstract
Carpenter syndrome is a pleiotropic disorder with autosomal recessive inheritance, the cardinal features of which include craniosynostosis, polysyndactyly, obesity, and cardiac defects. Using homozygosity mapping, we found linkage to chromosome 6p12.1-q12 and, in 15 independent families, identified five different mutations (four truncating and one missense) in RAB23, which encodes a member of the RAB guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase) family of vesicle transport proteins and acts as a negative regulator of hedgehog (HH) signaling. In 10 patients, the disease was caused by homozygosity for the same nonsense mutation, L145X, that resides on a common haplotype, indicative of a founder effect in patients of northern European descent. Surprisingly, nonsense mutations of Rab23 in open brain mice cause recessive embryonic lethality with neural-tube defects, suggesting a species difference in the requirement for RAB23 during early development. The discovery of RAB23 mutations in patients with Carpenter syndrome implicates HH signaling in cranial-suture biogenesis--an unexpected finding, given that craniosynostosis is not usually associated with mutations of other HH-pathway components--and provides a new molecular target for studies of obesity.

“These mutations demonstrate pathogenic roles for steroid metabolism and hedgehog (or possibly Wnt) signalling in cranial suture development, both of which are at present poorly understood.”

In the citing paper
“Whereas most genetically determined craniosynostosis is characterised by dominant inheritance, Antley-Bixler syndrome (features include disordered sex development and radio-humeral synostosis; mutation in POR encoding cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase) 35 and Carpenter syndrome (with polysyndactyly; mutation in RAB23 encoding RAB23, member of RAS oncogene family) 36 are recessive disorders.”

In the citing paper
“Additional convergence is seen in the Hedgehog pathway, involving ALX4, IHH, and RAB23 [46, 72, 77], and in the RAS/MAPK cascade, given the association of sCS with RASopathies and variants in BRAF, PTPN11, and MAP4K4 [61, 112, 122].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
