Genet."],"abstract":"<jats:p>Biallelic mutations in the <jats:italic>CCN6<\/jats:italic> gene are known to cause a rare genetic disorder\u2014progressive pseudorheumatoid dysplasia (PPD). PPD is characterized by distinct joint deformities of interphalangeal joints, stiffness, gait disturbance, abnormal posture, and absence of inflammation, resulting in significant morbidity. The largest case series of PPD from India suggests c.233G&amp;gt;A and c.1010G&amp;gt;A to be the most common mutations in the <jats:italic>CCN6<\/jats:italic> gene, although the distribution of these variants among endogamous communities in India has not been carried out. We here report three cases of PPD from three independent families belonging to the Patni community of Gujarat, a community known to practice endogamy. All three cases had short stature, gait disturbance, scoliosis, and interphalangeal joint deformities. Analysis by whole-exome sequencing in the first case showed the presence of a previously known, homozygous, missense variant c.298T&amp;gt;A (p.Cys100Ser) in exon 3 of the <jats:italic>CCN6<\/jats:italic> gene in all cases. Due to all three families belonging to the same community, analysis by Sanger sequencing in the remaining two cases for the variant mentioned earlier showed both cases to be of homozygous mutant genotype. Unaffected family members, i.e., parents and siblings, were either heterozygous carriers or wildtype for the said variant. The present case series is the first report of a recurrent variant occurring across multiple PPD-affected individuals from unrelated families belonging to the same community from India.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fgene.2021.724824","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,28]],"date-time":"2021-09-28T05:50:05Z","timestamp":1632808205000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Case Report: Recurrent Variant c.298\u00a0TA in CCN6 Gene Found in Progressive Pseudorheumatoid Dysplasia Patients From Patni Community of Gujarat: A Report of Three Cases"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Harsh","family":"Sheth","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jhanvi","family":"Shah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aadhira","family":"Nair","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Premal","family":"Naik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jayesh","family":"Sheth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2481","DOI":"10.1002\/ajmg.a.37164","article-title":"Novel and Recurrent Mutations in WISP3 and an Atypical Phenotype","volume":"167","author":"Bhavani","year":"2015","journal-title":"Am.
