Mutations in the cyclin family member **FAM58A** cause an X-linked dominant disorder characterized by syndactyly, telecanthus and anogenital and renal malformations

Abstract
We identified four girls with a consistent constellation of facial dysmorphism and malformations previously reported in a single motherdaughter pair. Toe syndactyly, telecanthus and anogenital and renal malformations were present in all affected individuals; thus, we propose the name 'STAR syndrome' for this disorder. Using array CGH, qPCR and sequence analysis, we found causative mutations in FAM58A on Xq28 in all affected individuals, suggesting an X-linked dominant inheritance pattern for this recognizable syndrome.
