Abstract

BACKGROUND: The aim was to identify susceptibility alleles for infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS) in a pedigree previously linked to IHPS5 on chromosome 16q24. METHODS: We screened the positional and functional candidate gene FOXF1 by Sanger sequencing in a single affected individual. All family members for whom DNA was available were genotyped to determine co-segregation status of the putative causal variant. Immunofluorescence studies were performed to compare the cellular localisation of wildtype and mutant form of the protein. Transcriptional activity was compared using a luciferase assay. RESULTS: A single novel substitution in FOXF1 (c.416G>A) predicted to result in a missense mutation (R139Q) was shown to co-segregate with disease trait. It was not seen in 560 control chromosomes nor has it been reported in ExAC or ESP. The R139Q substitution affects a conserved arginine residue within the DNA-binding domain of FOXF1. The transcriptional activity of the mutant FOXF1 protein is significantly reduced in comparison to wild-type. CONCLUSION: These results provide strong evidence that the R139Q substitution in FOXF1 causes IHPS in this family and imply a novel pathological pathway for the condition. They further support a role for FOXF1 in the regulation of embryonic and neonatal development of the gastro-intestinal tract.
