摘要

Congenital scoliosis (CS) is a spinal deformity present at birth due to underlying congenital vertebral malformation (CVM) that occurs during embryonic development. Hemivertebrae is the most common anomaly that causes CS. Recently, compound heterozygosity inTBX6has been identified in Northern Chinese, Japanese, and European CS patient cohorts, which explains about 7%-10% of the affected population. In this report, we recruited 67 CS patients characterized with hemivertebrae in the Southern Chinese population and investigated theTBX6variant and risk haplotype. We found that two patients with hemivertebrae in the thoracic spine and one patient with hemivertebrae in the lumbar spine carry the previously defined pathogenicTBX6compound heterozygous variants. In addition, whole exome sequencing of patients with CS and their family members identified a de novo missense mutation (c.G47T: p.R16L) in another member of the T-box family,TBXT. This rare mutation compromised the binding of TBXT to its target sequence, leading to reduced transcriptional activity, and exhibited dominant-negative effect on wild-type TBXT. Our findings further highlight the importance of T-box family genes in the development of congenital scoliosis.
