Description

DNA Topoisomerase II beta (TOP2B) acts on DNA topology during transcription and has a critical role in neural development. Heterozygous pathogenic changes in its encoding gene, TOP2B (MIM *126431), has been linked with three overlapping phenotypes characterized by immunodeficiency, acral and urogenital anomalies: Hoffman, BILU and Ablepharon-macrostomia-like syndrome. We herein report on a mother and two sons with distinct TOP2B-phenotype. Two males reported further delineated genital phenotype of males and all reported patients were reviewed for genotypephenotype correlation. We believe the patients reported herein along with the previously defined 11 represent a phenotypic spectrum from mild-to-severe immunological, acral and urogenital involvement, for which we propose the acronym "TOP2B-related Immunodeficiency and Congenital Anomalies Spectrum (TICAS)".
