- Аннотация: ntroduction: Pathogenic variants in the OFD1 gene are linked to a spectrum of syndromes that exhibit partial clinical overlap. Hemizygous loss-of-function variants are considered lethal in males, while heterozygous loss-of-function variants generally result in oro-facial-digital syndrome type 1. A reported phenotype, Simpson–Golabi–Behmel syndrome type 2, was published once but remains controversial, with many specialists questioning its validity and arguing about its continued listing in the OMIM database. Methods: To investigate the genetic and phenotypic characteristics of the patients, we performed clinical exome sequencing, family-based genetic analysis, X-inactivation studies, electron microscopy, and detailed clinical assessments. Results: Three patients from unrelated families carrying loss-of-function variants in the OFD1 gene were identified, emphasizing the diverse phenotypic spectrum of OFD1-associated disorders. The first patient, a female with a heterozygous frameshift variant p.(Gln398LeufsTer2), was diagnosed with oro-facial-digital syndrome type 1. The second patient, a male with a heterozygous nonsense variant p.(Gln892Ter), presented with features resembling Simpson–Golabi–Behmel syndrome type 2, as previously reported under this diagnosis. The third patient, a male with another heterozygous nonsense variant p.(Glu879Ter), exhibited isolated primary ciliary dyskinesia without any syndromic features. Conclusion: This study contributes to the growing body of evidence on the expanding phenotypic spectrum of OFD1-associated disorders. It underscores the need for further investigation into the molecular mechanisms underlying the diverse presentations and the necessity of re-evaluating diagnostic classifications for conditions such as SGBS2 in the context of variants in the OFD1 gene.
