RT Journal Article T1 A loss-of-function mutation in the CFC domain of TDGF1 is associated with human forebrain defects A1 Cruz García, Jesús Manuel de la A1 Bamford, Richard N. A1 Burdine, Rebecca D. A1 Roessler, Erich A1 Barkovich, A. James A1 Donnai, Dian A1 Schier, Alexander F. A1 Muenke, Maximiliam AB TDGF1 (CRIPTO) is an EGF-CFC family member and an obligate co-receptor involved in NODAL signaling, a developmental program implicated in midline, forebrain, and left-right axis development in model organisms. Previous studies of CFC1 (CRYPTIC), another member of the EGF-CFC family, demonstrated that normal function of this protein is required for proper laterality development in humans. Here we identify a mutation in the conserved CFC domain of TDGF1 in a patient with midtine anomalies of the forebrain. The mutant protein is inactive in a zebrafish rescue assay, indicating a role for TDGF1 in human midline and forebrain development.
