Description |
Roifman syndrome is a multi-system disorder with a physical phenotype that includes B-cell immunodeficiency, intra-uterine and postnatal growth retardation, spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, retinal dystrophy, and characteristic facial dysmorphism. Recently, whole-genome sequencing of Roifman syndrome patients have demonstrated that Roifman syndrome is caused by compound heterozygous single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) in the minor spliceosomal small nuclear RNA (snRNA) gene RNU4ATAC, which was already implicated in a severe congenital disorder, microcephalic osteodysplastic primordial dwarfism, type I (MOPD1) [DS: H00993]. Roifman syndrome is phenotypically distinct from MOPD1.
