- Abstract
- Recently, we have shown that mutations in the X-linked glypican 3 (GPC3) gene
cause the Simpson-Golabi-Behmel overgrowth syndrome (SGBS; ). The next
centromeric gene detected is another glypican, glypican 4 (GPC4), with its 5' end
120763bp downstream of the 3' terminus of GPC3. One recovered GPC4 cDNA with an
open reading frame of 1668nt encodes a putative protein containing three heparan
sulfate glycosylation signals and the 14 signature cysteines of the glypican
family. This protein is 94.3% identical to mouse GPC4 and 26% identical to human
GPC3. In contrast to GPC3, which produces a single transcript of 2.3kb and is
stringently restricted in expression to predominantly mesoderm-derived tissues,
Northern analyses show that GPC4 produces two transcripts, 3.4 and 4.6kb, which
are very widely expressed (though at a much higher level in fetal lung and
kidney). Interestingly, of 20 SGBS patients who showed deletions in GPC3, one was
also deleted for part of GPC4. Thus, GPC4 is not required for human viability,
even in the absence of GPC3. This patient shows a complex phenotype, including
the unusual feature of hydrocephalus; but because an uncle with SGBS is less
affected, it remains unclear whether the GPC4 deletion itself contributes to the
phenotype. (literal)
