 Abstract: Ulnar–mammary syndrome (UMS) is a rare autosomal-dominant disorder caused by mutations in TBX3. The condition is characterized by hypoplasia or aplasia of upper limbs on the ulnar side, mammary glands and nipples, and of apocrine glands in both sexes (MIM #181450). We report on a girl presenting with an UMS like phenotype, a dysmorphic facies, and mental retardation. Mutation analysis of TBX3 and G-banded chromosome analysis from lymphocytes were performed. We used microarray-based comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH) to investigate the patient's genomic DNA for submicroscopic aberrations. No mutation of the TBX3 gene was detected in our patient and chromosome analysis revealed a normal female karyotype (46,XX). Hybridization of a whole-genome tiling path array consisting of more than 36 000 BAC clones revealed an interstitial 1.28 Mb deletion within chromosomal band 12q24.21. The deleted region encompasses one known gene, TBX3. The deletion and haploinsufficiency of TBX3 was confirmed by fluorescence in situ hybridization using BAC clones representing the deletion on the BAC array. To our knowledge, this is the first description of TBX3 haploinsufficiency caused by a genomic deletion in a patient with UMS. We suggest that the UMS phenotype in conjunction with the characteristic facial changes and mental retardation observed in our patient is owing to the deletion of TBX3 and the involvement of neighbouring genes.
