Larger deletions of the chromosome 15q11-13 imprinted locus, including MKRN3, cause Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS).

Whole gene deletions of MKRN3 were identified in 2 subjects (13%): a complete deletion of MKRN3 in Patient A (pubertal onset at 7 years) and a larger deletion involving MAGEL2, MKRN3, and NDN in Patient B (pubertal onset 5.5 years). Both were paternally inherited. Patient B had no typical features of PWS, other than obesity, which was also present in her unaffected family.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>We identified 2 cases of whole gene deletions of MKRN3 causing isolated CPP without PWS. This is the first report of complete deletions of MKRN3 in patients with CPP, emphasizing the importance of including copy number variant analysis for MKRN3 mutation testing when a genetic diagnosis is suspected. We speculate that there is a critical region of the PWS locus beyond MKRN3, MAGEL2, and NDN that is responsible for the PWS phenotype.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1210\/clinem\/dgaa331","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,1]],"date-time":"2020-06-01T21:40:04Z","timestamp":1591047604000},"page":"2732-2739","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Heterozygous Deletions in <i>MKRN3<\/i> Cause Central Precocious Puberty Without Prader-Willi Syndrome"],"prefix":"10.1210","volume":"105","author":[{"given":"Brooke N","family":"Meader","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, NIH, Bethesda, Maryland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alessandro","family":"Albano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, NIH, Bethesda, Maryland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hilal","family":"Sekizkardes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, NIH, Bethesda, Maryland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0632-6365","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Angela","family":"Delaney","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, NIH, Bethesda, Maryland"},{"name":"Division of Endocrinology, St. Jude Children\u2019s Research Hospital, Memphis, Tennessee"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"80","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,1]]},"reference":[{"issue":"22","key":"2021122111012644900_CIT0001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2366","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMcp0800459","article-title":"Clinical practice.
