Homozygous<jats:italic> B3GAT3<\/jats:italic> mutations have been associated with short stature, skeletal deformities, and congenital heart defects. We describe for the first time a novel heterozygous splice site mutation in<jats:italic> B3GAT3<\/jats:italic> contributing to severe short stature, growth hormone (GH) deficiency, recurrent ketotic hypoglycaemia, facial dysmorphism, and congenital heart defects. A female infant, born at 34 weeks\u2019 gestation to nonconsanguineous Caucasian parents with a birth weight of 1.9\u2009kg, was noted to have cloacal abnormality, ventricular septal defect, pulmonary stenosis, and congenital sensorineural deafness. At 4 years of age, she was diagnosed with GH deficiency due to her short stature (height &lt; 2.5 SD). MRI of the pituitary gland revealed a small anterior pituitary. She has multiple dysmorphic features: anteverted nares, small upturned nose, hypertelorism, slight frontal bossing, short proximal bones, hypermobile joints, and downslanting palpebral fissures. Whole exome sequencing (WES) was performed on the genomic DNA from the patient and biological mother. A heterozygous mutation in<jats:italic> B3GAT3<\/jats:italic> (c.888+262T&gt;G) in the invariant \u201cGT\u201d splice donor site was identified. This variant is considered to be pathogenic as it decreases the splicing efficiency in the mRNA.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2017\/3941483","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,11,28]],"date-time":"2017-11-28T18:31:07Z","timestamp":1511893867000},"page":"1-5","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Novel Splicing Mutation in<i> B3GAT3<\/i> Associated with Short Stature, GH Deficiency, Hypoglycaemia, Developmental Delay, and Multiple Congenital Anomalies"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2017","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3946-8773","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Samuel","family":"Bloor","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Life Sciences, University of Liverpool, Liverpool, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dinesh","family":"Giri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Child Health, University of Liverpool, Liverpool, UK"},{"name":"Department of Endocrinology, Alder Hey Children\u2019s NHS Foundation Trust, Liverpool, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mohammed","family":"Didi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Endocrinology, Alder Hey Children\u2019s NHS Foundation Trust, Liverpool, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8001-0342","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Senthil","family":"Senniappan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Child Health, University of Liverpool, Liverpool, UK"},{"name":"Department of Endocrinology, Alder Hey Children\u2019s NHS Foundation Trust, Liverpool, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ajmg.a.36487"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12881-016-0344-9"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajhg.2011.05.021"},{"key":"4","year":"July 2017"},{"key":"5","series-title":"Handbook of Glycosyltransferases and Related Genes","year":"2014"},{"key":"6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00439-015-1549-2"},{"key":"7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/ejhg.2014.60"},{"key":"8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7150\/ijbs.5136"},{"key":"9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ydbio.2010.09.008"},{"key":"10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.15252\/emmm.201606967"},{"key":"11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.devcel.2005.10.009"},{"key":"12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/gtc.12201"},{"key":"13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0736-5748(02)00055-2"},{"key":"14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0092-8674(00)80257-3"},{"key":"15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/gim.2013.176"},{"key":"16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ajmg.a.37209"},{"key":"17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1155\/2015\/861752"},{"key":"18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/gim.2017.109"},{"key":"19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s13633-017-0047-9"}],"container-title":["Case Reports in Genetics"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/crig\/2017\/3941483.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/crig\/2017\/3941483.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/crig\/2017\/3941483.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2017,11,28]],"date-time":"2017-11-28T18:31:07Z","timestamp":1511893867000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/crig\/2017\/3941483\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2017]]},"references-count":19,"alternative-id":["3941483","3941483"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2017\/3941483","relation":{},"ISSN":["2090-6544","2090-6552"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2090-6544","type":"print"},{"value":"2090-6552","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2017]]}}}
