Abstract
Madelung deformity, a congenital anomaly of the wrist with subluxation of the ulna head, is not a widely recognized feature of Albright hereditary osteodystrophy. Here, we describe a young female with a bilateral Madelung deformity, mild cognitive disability, some dysmorphic facial features, and a type Eβlike brachydactyly, in whom we identified a novel and de novo mutation (c.476T>C; p.Val159Ala) in exon 6 of the GNAS gene.

## Abstract A number of studies have confirmed that genetic factors play an important role in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). More recently de novo mutations in the __SHANK3__ gene, a synaptic scaffolding protein, have been associated with the ASD phenotype. As part of our gene discovery strategy,
Because of the recent identification of several mutations of methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MECP2) in patients with Rett syndrome (RTT), a patient with suspected RTT from an autism clinic was screened for mutations. She was found to have a novel heterozygous nonsense mutation, 129C>T (Q19X), which le
