✦ Synopsis
Abstract
Du Pan syndrome is a rare acromesomelic dysplasia with characteristic clinical and radiographic findings. It is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. Almost all the patients reported have been from Muslim countries. We report on a female and her child with Du Pan syndrome from a Caucasian, Polish family. Three new heterozygous mutations clustered on one allele of the CDMP1 gene were identified in the affected individuals resulting in the first familial case with dominant Du Pan syndrome. A possible synergistic effect of the cis‐acting mutations located in the active domain of the mature CDMP1 protein is likely to be responsible for the clinical expression of the disorder. © 2005 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
